A few nights ago, the booming thunder and crashing lightning right above my head made me feel like Chicken Little believing “the sky is falling,” like the song "It's the End of the World as We Know It . In my near eight decades on this earth, I never felt anything like it. The sound of the pounding rain on my Fort Lauderdale home was intense. Visibility was nil. The torrential rains seem stronger and seem to drop huge amounts of water harder and faster than our fragile eart

I’m reading a book, “The Book Club for Troublesome Women,” by Maria Bostwick. I would say it is about being a 1960s married woman. I have come to the part in the book where all the four women seem to hate their husbands. Hate is the word that the author uses. I’d like to use the words “seriously unhappy” in their marriages. I know that it the same for both sexes, there are times in a committed relationship, or marriage, where a man will seem to hate the woman in the marriag

Friday, September 11, 2026 is when we acknowledge the twenty fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our beloved country. This year, September 11 is also the Jewish New Year holiday of Rosh Hashanah when we Jews begin the year 5787 in the Jewish calendar. I just read an article that proposes that Judaism has survived thousands of years because it has so many more dimensions than just religion. In Judaism, tzedakah, giving or charity, which also means “justice” or “ri

This post is dedicated to a dear friend who just entered into a new phase in her life, that of being a mother-in-law. Yes, there is a difference between being a mother and being a mother-in-law. All of this post applies to the father-in-law and grandfather in this day and age, and one previous blog post listed below is specifically about a grandfather who needed grandma lessons. There is so much written about relationships between the “in-laws,” especially between mothers-

The death of Dolly Parton hit me hard, harder than I expected. I know I am not alone. She created a persona that was bigger than life, but she was all about a life well lived. A recent Poll I read said Dolly Parton was the most beloved and unifying public figure in America. Her mentee, Taylor Swift, holds the title for being the most visible and culturally dominant force in our country. One might wonder how someone who is a Boomer could be one of the Dollies and one of the

I was lucky enough to be invited to visit a dear friend who has moved to Ennis, Montana, and learned what “Big Sky Country” really is. Bluebird days are what perfect blue skies in Montana are called. Montana is worth a journey. Ennis, Montana, is having several moments in the spotlight. Season one, episode two, of The Madison, on Paramount+, with Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell, features the town of Ennis. Several scenes are filmed around Ennis. Ennis is in Madison Co

Recently, I spoke to someone close to me who told me about the experience of losing her son to brain cancer when he was eight years old. They did everything they could. How horrific was the journey to try to save their son that she shared! The memories are vivid and painful still and, in my opinion, may last her lifetime. I picked up The New York Times, and on the front page, Thursday, July 9, 2026, was an article about parents choosing to possibly lose a child, “As Parents
