Taking a Breath(er) and a Blintz
I know, I know. I am in violation of the first rule(s) of blogging. Stay current.Write. Stay disciplined. Write, right away. Know your stuff, right?
Okay, enough with the wordplay, like playing with the food on your plate.
Have you ever

My mother liked to take issue with Mother’s Day. It was her habit to pooh-pooh (her expression) the Day as a Hallmark Holiday. ‘I’m not sentimental,’ she’d say, professing that every day was one kinda mother of a day or other.
Now I… Read full post »
What Should We Name the Grandma?
Parental Advisory: this post may contain explicit content, strong language and drool
"Call me Clare, kids." To my everlasting dismay, my mother detested the title Grandmother. In truth, at the age of 45, she was too young, too hip, too naturally frost… Read full post »
Groundhog Day on Five Mile Road
Northville, Michigan: from our door it’s 30 seconds to the
gas station, grocery store, Einstein Bagel, CVS, Jet Pizza and Home
Depot.
Typical suburban sprawl. Four minutes to the freeway, 20 minutes,

Stash Away, Stash Away
Reed Krakoff. 'Tis the season.
I have this thing about bags. You know, those things designed
to carry your things. Funny thing: the more
things I have, the more I lust for The One. Perfect. Bag.
That one elusive object of desire I have yet to define.
And so I… Read full post »

My Digital Playpen: Out of Site, Out of Mind
What's Up on the Desktop?

Photos of the Day
Oy, before it’s Christmas, I need to wrap up Thanksgiving.
Truly, dearly I love each and every member of my family, but
honestly, we went a little over-the-top this year.
Starting with thirty people for dinner,
eleven houseguests, divided among three ho… Read full post »
To Write. Or Not. Every Day.
Photo of the Day
If it’s not a New Year’s resolution, it should be.
If it’s not a habit, then it’s a good one to start.
If it’s not something you care to do, then stop. For god-sake, stop.
But if you’re a

Other than the fact that I snapped her photo as part of an interview in her apartment last Friday afternoon, the lady pictured here is of no relation to me.
And yet, as I processed her photos the other day and study them now more

The Quickening of Detroit
A stroll along WEBward Avenue
In Detroit there are the dreamers. And there are the doers: those who dare to make a difference: to “walk the talk,” as they say, turning and returning to “The D” as a destination, a place of choice and new opportunity.… Read full post »

Uneasy Rider
Into the woods, and outta

Who says: it’s like riding a bicycle. You never forget.
Seems I

Line's Busy
How busy am I?
Busy enough.
Busy enough to have taken the day off yesterday.
Busy enough to be working today, on my “day off.”
Busy enough to be working “part-time” 60 hours a week.
okay, bohoo for me, you get the idea.
1WTC: Freedom Tower
Photos of the Day
I can’t say what corner I turned, or what street I was walking along in TriBeca on that early morning in May . . . when suddenly there it loomed into view. Breaking through low-flying clouds, eerie in its ghost-like image, it was breathtaking

Missing Father's Day, Words for Ed
Thinking of Edward Goldman on Father's Day.
A repost from last year. Because the dude abides.
On Father's Day, there will be long distant calls all around to the men in my family: to my husband, to my two sons, and to my nephews (as close as

Granted: it’s a blank book, a book of empty pages. More like a journal than an actual book, this particular book is waiting for its lines to be drawn. Or written. “TBD” as they say. Seventy two blank pages,/

Detroit: Startup City
Be Still My Hart Plaza, Downtown Detroit
Photos of the Day
On a photo assignment, late afternoon, on a blustery Sunday in February, teeth chattering, cameras clicking, we we stood freezing as we grabbed shots of Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit.
The Plaza was deserted, the expanse of the city at the

Talking about the weather, really? Has it come to this?
