Last week I had lunch with two acquaintances whom I hadn’t seen for quite a long time. Between munching on low-caloried salads and diet Coke, we tried to catch up on the major things that had happened in our lives since we’d last seen one another. After disposing of couples who divorced and elderly who died [...]

I had such a good time this afternoon. It was completely unexpected. Actually I didn’t even want to go, but it was one of those types of situations where not going would have looked really bad. Let me explain.
My husband Bob has an aunt who lives in the Jewish Home for the Aging in the [...]

It is the day after the Ventura Book Festival. It was a very nice event, although I must say that having been a participant in the Los Angeles Times Book Festival last April, the experience was like comparing baby food to a scrupious steak. Yet, every experience adds a bit more understanding to what readers are looking [...]

I’ll be at the Ventura Book Festival all day signing “Becoming Alice.” Such fun!! Besides, it’s lovely being at the beach while southern California is melting in 100 degree heat.
I’ll tell all tomorrow.

In today’s news there is an article about former President Jimmy Carter leaving his church of sixty years because of their refusal to ordain women as minsters and their interpretion of the scriptures to state that women must be “subservient to their husbands.”

Yesterday on the news we heard that Walter Cronkite died. I felt terrible. I remember being depressed when Franklin Delano Roosevelt died. I didn’t feel anything when Michael Jackson died, except maybe to feel sorry for this tormented person who had to resort to drugs to get through every day of his life. I feel bad [...]
I Don’t Get It

I’ve been spending quite a lot of hours on my computer. Actually I’ve been spending those hours on the internet. There is a difference. If I’d have been on the computer per se, I’d have been working on my next short story or novel, depending on how long it eventually became. Unfortunately I have only [...]

Last Thursday night Bob and I are on the freeway to Hollywood argueing about how much traffic we are going to be caught in. Besides, we weren’t quite sure we knew how to get to where we were going, which was the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Bob said we’d be in a basket weave on the [...]

Through a connection on Twitter, I was asked to submit a list of books on a subject of my choosing for FlashlightWorthyBooks (http://www.flashlighworthybooks.com), which I did. Yesterday I received the posting which will be submitted to several internet sites in a few days. I thought you might like a heads up on it right now. [...]
