Wrong About Me

Today, I took both of my kids to school. They go to different schools. I dropped my daughter off first. During the five minute drive from her school to his, I played this song twice. "Wrong About Me" (I am including a link to a live performance, but I also highly recommend that you check out the studio version). https://youtu.be/dFI-eR-VLHc And you ...

On Your Birthday

Dear Husband, On your birthday 10 years ago, we had just gotten engaged. You came into our first shared bedroom to find 25 wrapped gifts on our bed, to honor your 25th birthday. On your birthday nine years ago we were preparing to get married. We took a trip to NYC to meet Twin halfway between Philadelphia ...

Grateful

I know that I am about a week late, but I felt compelled, just now, to share some of the things for which I am supremely thankful. I guess that, for me, it is a good lesson that we (I) should be more present in the now and therefore more grateful every day. Maybe not ...

“With Love, Brett”

Brett Dennen, about whom I have written a significant number of posts, right here on this very site sent me a guitar. As in, there was a packing slip from Fed Ex where he had written ...

Dear Diary, Saint Motel and rage no more.

I mentioned on Monday that this has been a really unusual time for my little family, filled with hills and valleys (I likened it to a mountain, before, but I will make it simple, tonight). I wrote about how on Sunday we did things like Build Bears, eat popovers and lose our son in the mall ...

Charming.

I had a few conversations recently in which I shared that one of my very favorite words is "charm", in both it's noun and verb form. I was just looking up the video that I made chronicling my past year in music, and do you know how YouTube shows you a list of videos down the ...
