Who do you carry in your heart?
The first and most intense love in my life was David Kincaid of the band "The Brandos" (formerly, The Allies). I am not sure how he managed to rip my heart apart the way he did but...he did. He was not particularly a nice person, not to me and not to many people. In fact he was pretty pompous and...

Tribute to Johnny
Johnny was a kind hearted man with a serious drinking problem. It killed him, it fried his pancreas and he died a painful, miserable death. Johnny was married to my mother so when he died I rushed to her side to help her. Their relationship walked that fine like of love and hate. She loved his...

Scent of a Woman
Yesterday as I rode the elevator to the second floor of Neiman Marcus. A woman, just one stair below me tapped my arm and asked "do you mind if I ask what fragrance you are wearing?". This is not the first time I have been asked about my fragrance and each time I have kindly declined to reveal the...

I should be sleeping
I should be sleeping right now but I am here instead. For the second night in a row, the skies have opened up and dumped a thunderous rain on our heads. If I sleep I cannot hear it although the sound of rain is soporific and I believe that if it continues to rain throughout the night, one will sleep...

Summer Camp?
Those who have read my blogs know that I have been taking care of my niece for four years. She is now 12 and at the age where she is too young to leave at home but too old for the YMCA summer programs. As she told me today, she is bored to boredom (whatever that means). I went on line to find sports...

Where's the Book?
Inside of me is a book, or a script or an article dying to escape. Everyone, I assume, has an interesting story or two to share about their lives but I think that my 47 years have experienced many lives rolled into one. The story literally starts with my childhood (doesn't it always?) and the main...

HAVE BLOGGERS GAINED FREELANCE WORK FROM BLOGIT?
I found BlogIt listed on one of the freelance writing sites as a recommended site to make money writing. I cannot deny that money can be made here but is BlogIt really a site that freelancers want to spend time posting on. I have been blogging here for nearly two years and my writing lies basically...

28 Days Ago
It has been 28 days since someone read any of my writings. I am not a frequent writer as all of the tribulations of life occupy my time. In fact, I barely have a creative thought remaining in my head. I have no energy, no inspiration, no space, no privacy, no identity. Even now, I have thoughts...

10 Things Before You Die
What ten things do you want to do before you die? I have proposed this question to several friends after having an emotional conversation with a friend who is dying of cancer. During our talk he said that even though he had done so much and had lived a fulfilling life, there was still so much he...
