Pray for the hurricane victims

September 13, 2017

There isn’t much for me to say this week, after all the terrible news about Hurricane Irma.  All I want to ask is that you keep the hurricane victims in your thoughts and prayers. There are many ways to help.  Unfortunately, times like this also bring out the scammers. Here’s some information on where you […]

Life and kayaking into the wind

September 6, 2017

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 […]

New sights in Boston

So I have been enjoying my sojourns into Boston to meet with potential consulting clients. I recently was lucky to have a client located right near Fenway Park. 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 spent my younger years baking in the sun. What could be better than being blonde and tanned? Now I am paying the price with several bouts of skin cancer. 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 […]

Just do it!

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 […]

Rocks under water

Comments Off on Rocks under water

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. […]

Volunteer and learn new things!

I am winding down my non-profit volunteer consulting project. I am sad to see it end. I was on a team of Harvard alumni who created a strategic marketing plan for a local non-profit.  I really enjoyed my team mates and I just love the client. I did this work because I wanted to give back […]

Comments Off on First lesson learned from Candy Crush

Well, I had my entire blog post written in my head; it was going to be on “Lessons learned from Candy Crush.” Yes, there are some positive things to be said about this addicting game! Except, I became so involved in playing the game, I forgot to write my post! It is now 10:00 pm […]

15 minutes of fame

March 29, 2017

Most of you have heard of the adage, “we all get 15 minutes of fame.” Well this happened to Mr. Ken last week. He was quoted in an article about a castle in Summit New Jersey. Can you imagine a real live castle in suburban New Jersey? It was called Vanderpoel Castle and Mr. Ken […]
