The AI Chronicles
I was scrolling through the Word Press Reader a few days ago (a compilation of blogs I follow) and I spotted a photo which didn’t quite look real. Curious, I opened the post titled “My Parents at My Age” by Robert James. It was a thoughtful piece about where the author’s parents’ lives were at,…

Everything Milk: A Simple Love Affair
I love milk. I mean, I REALLY love milk. First, I add it to my cereal every morning. Or, if my husband is making pancakes, I’ll put two glasses in the freezer to ensure that, once poured, the milk will chill to a glorious, perfect 38 degrees. I’ll also “freeze” my glass before having milk…

On the Scent…for Research
UPS delivered the package on Saturday evening, December 16th, at 6:00 p.m. The return address was The IU School of Medicine. This was not a Christmas present. When I saw it, I like to think that it was my last “yes” capping off my year of experimentation of trying instead of denying new things in…

It was just a day; a Tuesday, to be exact. I woke, watched a little news with coffee, dressed and pulled out of the garage at 7:55 am. I drove to work in Evanston, Illinois. My office was on Davis Street and we were lucky to have a parking garage right across the street. I…

My Afternoon with Matthew McConaughey
It really all started with Instagram. When the new year began, I finally decided to join. At its most basic, I always considered it a photography platform, and I am not a photographer. But I hit “Create an Account” anyway and started following family and some public figures. I posted a handful of tepid nature…

The Sticker
Last March, I had just finished a refreshing swim and beach walk with my husband along a stretch of the Atlantic which parallels Patrick Air Force Base. The beach is between Satellite Beach and Cocoa Beach (fans of the famed “I Dream of Jeannie” television show may remember Major Tony Nelson lived there) on Florida’s…

Digging a Little 3-Part Harmony
It’s New Year’s Eve, 1972. A band is playing “Celebrate, Celebrate, dance to the music..” and suddenly Dick Clark’s voice emerges “direct from aboard the Queen Mary in California, coast to coast in Times Square in New York, you’re invited to Three Dog Night’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve starring Three Dog Night, Blood Sweat and…
