What inspires you?

July 17, 2019

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 […]

The view from a window

July 10, 2019

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 […]

Some of my favorite summer things

July 3, 2019

The lazy days of summer are upon us. I got to thinking about the summer and how I love it. July 4th kicks off the summer and I am so ready for it! Here are some of my favorite summer things: 1. Many hours of daylight. I am a morning person and I love to […]

Where is your happy place?

June 26, 2019

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 […]

Nancy and Ken’s South Carolina adventure

June 19, 2019

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. […]

A quick post this week, nothing too deep. I am so excited! Coconut Cold Brew Coffee is back at Trader Joe’s! My favorite. This is just a summer thing. Oh happy days! What little things bring you joy?

Password blackhole

June 5, 2019

So I went to sign into my cvs.com account the other day. I got one of those dreaded messages, “Time to change your password. Click here to get sent a re-set link.” Darn it, I don’t want to change my password since my cvs one is one of the few I actually remember. But I […]

Disturbing marketing

May 29, 2019

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!

May 22, 2019

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 […]

All ready to go!

May 15, 2019

It is that time of year again, when we bring up our kayaks. I look forward to this all winter. We store our kayaks in the basement and have to bring them up through the bulkhead. The bulkhead is at a very awkward angle, so it is always a challenge to bring them up without […]
