We just came back from a fabulous two weeks in London. I have a new favorite city! The history, the culture, the people – I loved it all. If I were 30 years younger, I would seriously consider moving there for a few years. And so the adventure begins. 1. Let’s talk about packing, shall […]

Comments Off on Mr. Ken’s definition of healthy food
Yet(!) another story from the life of Mr. Ken. Mr. Ken just got back from his daily walk. He yells up the stairs. On an aside here, what is it about spouses that feel compelled to carry on a long conversation when you are not in the same room with them, yet when you are […]

Comments Off on What we do for love
This past Saturday, I was very busy up in my office. I was on my computer doing very important stuff.

Ah, summertime. Long sun-filled days, the desire to be outdoors all the time and the slower pace. I love kayaking more than anything (well, maybe not more than Peeps or chipmunks). So we’ve spent all our spare time out on the water. When I’m out there, all my problems disappear. It’s like a mini-vacation. Here […]

Computer records can be a lot neater than paper records, that’s for sure. I understand the push for medical records to be online. Except, for me, there have been several VERY annoying consequences. 1. The doctor spends his/her time looking at the computer screen and not at me while asking me questions. Am I really […]

I used to think that fall was my favorite time of year, but over the years I have changed my mind. I love summer! A lot of it has to do with the hours of daylight. As I have gotten older, I seem to be more sensitive to less hours of daylight and my energy […]

Now that I am semi-retired, I have a lot more time on my hands for reflection. My latest thoughts are around inspiration. As most of you know, I am very involved in my grad school alumni volunteer organization, HBS CAP. We do pro-bono consulting for Boston area non-profits. During June and July we are busy […]

I just love the long, lazy days of summer. I find myself slowing down, not just because of the heat, but because everything just seems so much more relaxed now. I am happy that we get to eat our meals in the daylight. Our family room/eating area is my favorite room in the house (aside […]
