And I am not talking about all the political nonsense going on here in America. So Mr. Ken and I are planning a big trip to London. As part of our preparation, I wanted to see what the weather has been like so I can plan my outfits. On a side note here, Mr. Ken […]

Ahhh, summertime!

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 […]

What inspires you?

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 […]

For me, that’s easy.  It’s out kayaking.  I could be having the most stressful day on the planet, but when I get out on the water in my kayak, it all goes away.  I am just enjoying the fresh air, the way my boat smoothly glides through the water and all the wildlife. I am […]

Mr. Ken is a Jersey boy, but his family, including his mother and two brothers have moved to South Carolina. So now, instead of talking with Jersey accent, e.g. saying “dawg and cawl” for dog and call, they say “y’all.” Mr. Ken and I recently went for a visit. It was a lot of fun. […]

Normally I’m a “live and let live” type of gal. But something happened last weekend that I just can’t forget. I’m in my exercise room, deep into my yoga practice and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Greece. All of a sudden I hear this loud pounding on our side door. Now normally I would ignore […]

Big brother is watching!

This mysterious package showed up on our doorstep the other day. This box looks like a box for expensive men’s cologne. I was confused since I know Mr. Ken does not wear cologne. Mr. Ken quickly absconds upstairs with the box. I hear nothing more of it until the next day. I came downstairs and […]
