I love kayaking in the fall. The beautiful, colorful leaves of the trees look especially nice from the river. The humidity is a lot less in the fall, but you still get bright sunshine. The only thing that often comes with the sunshine is the wind. The other day was sunny and the temperature was […]

I had an interesting conversation with my friend Carole the other day. Now Carole is one of the most positive people I know so I was surprised when she said that she really disliked fall. According to her, “Everything dies and it gets really dark.” Me, on the other hand, I just love fall. It […]

Normally, Quincy Massachusetts is not the place for adventures. Other than it being the birthplace of John Quincy Adams and home to the old Fore River Shipyard, there is nothing much of note there. I did live there 26 years ago when I first moved back from New York City. Mr. Ken and I had […]

Yes, that’s right, right next to the home of the Red Sox. I walked from Back Bay Station to this location. I was fascinated by the walk […]

I have come to the sad realization that we are not 30 years old anymore. I kind of knew this since it has been many, many years since I celebrated that birthday, but recent events have brought home this fact. No more Mexican jumping beans. In the evenings, Mr. Ken and I like to sit […]

So now, I am meticulous about wearing sunscreen, even in the winter. I especially like Coppertone Water Babies sunscreen; it works the best. I was […]

Normally, I just love taking the train into Boston. We are at the point in my consulting work where we go out and meet with clients who have applied for our work for the upcoming year. This is a lot of fun. It’s kind of like all the interest of consulting, but without any of […]

This is my favorite slogan. It can apply to so many things in life, from exercising to facing unpleasant tasks. It’s funny since it is so easy for me to apply this to my exercise. I’m really good at making myself exercise, even if I don’t feel like it. I know that I will feel […]

We are off to a good start with our kayaking this year. The weather has been great and the temperatures very comfortable. The cooler temperatures are a very good thing since I wear long sleeved SPF-50 shirts and they can be pretty uncomfortable when it gets hotter. We’ve have been mainly kayaking on the Charles […]

Now that I am free from caring for my Mom, Mr. Ken and I want to do more traveling. Before we do that, I have to get my passport. I had a passport, way back when in 1984, but that has long since expired. First, the passport picture. Off I head to my local Walgreen’s. […]
