Jungle quarantine – on Medium.com
So me and the frog had at it last night. He was swimming in the only pond waters available — our toilet bowl. It’s the longest dry spell Antigua has seen in over 80 years. The ducks up the road look longingly at their deep and empty watering hole as our hostess ‘L’ digs and…

Blog Twenty Four: One Week In the Ole Folks Home
“Family” is a funny word. The traditional family structure in the United States is considered a family support system involving two married individuals providing care and stability for their biological offspring. However, this two-parent, nuclear family has become less prevalent, and alternative family forms have become more common. …So says Wikipedia. I’ve spent much…

Blog Twenty Three: The 62 Percent
“Trump won 62% of the white female voters without college degrees, while Clinton won 34%.” Kind of blows my mind that ANY woman would pass on this opportunity to elevate her gender. Can you imagine the reaction of the Suffragettes – writhing in their graves, shaking their bony, dust-drenched skulls in disbelief. How many suffered…

Blog Twenty Two: Wherever You Go, There You Are
“Wherever you go, there you are”. I love a relevant cliche. I’ve been pulling ‘a geographical’ ever since we left my mother & brother in Northern NJ on December 31st.

Blog Nineteen: The Queen’s Chair
It was an interesting road into the “producer’s” chair for me & Saucy Monky. AKA the “queen’s chair” as I like to call it. The climate in the early 2000’s was definitely pre-DIY. Labels were thriving and people were still holding out for juicy record deals. I was one of the first indie girls to…

Blog Eighteen: Real Time Popcorn-time
There’s a luscious vegetarian cookbook on my piano. Gourmet recipes and top notch photography in a very artful package. When I flip through the pages, my mouth starts to water. It’s a little like flipping through Bon Appetit – only better. I bought this book for my wife, Sue Ann. Sue Ann is a voracious…
