Ma che stai dicendo, AI?
For those who don’t read Italian, my title asks “What on earth are you saying, AI?” While I am sure it has its uses, I remain skeptical about AI. I stubbornly stick to the idea that it is one tiny millimeter away from flat-out plagiarism. I am not a teacher, but if I had a…

Hanging out in Indianapolis, Indiana
I’ve already written a post about my cross-country driving trip with my younger son last summer from Washington, DC to Kansas. One of the stops along the way was a city new to both of us. I’ve driven by Indiana’s capital city multiple times, but have never before taken the time to drive in, park…

Chagall’s splash of color in Zurich’s Fraumünster
On a recent trip to Zurich, I returned to see the Chagall painted windows I hadn’t seen in years. Russian-Jewsih artist Marc Chagall (Moishe Segal/Mark Zacharovič Šagal, 1887-1985) began a new phase of his career with stained glass and painted windows for churches. Zurich’s Fraumünster church, founded in 853 by Louis the German for his…

Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy your romance reads…
Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s the day – and the month – to celebrate romance. And reading romance novels is a great way to celebrate. Although many of my women’s fiction novels and stories often have romantic elements, fewer of my novels are also categorized as romance novels. But three do fit the bill. Here are…

In the steps of the Ingalls family at Tallgrass Prairies National Reserve, Kansas
Like many young girls, I grew up reading the Little House in the Prairies books, written by Laura Ingalls Wilder, and wondering what life must have been like out in the American prairies. The series was turned into a popular television series, and I enjoyed those, too. It wouldn’t be until years later, this past…

Paris is always a good idea…
I was in Paris for a weekend last month. Although I’ve been many times to Paris, it’s always a pleasure to get back. I left early on a Friday, and had three days in the City of Lights, and I was eager to get in as much as I could – great walks, music, art,…

When in Paris … Shakespeare and Company
When a writer and avid reader finds herself in Paris, it is almost sacrilege not to pay a visit to Shakespeare and Company. It was also close to my hotel, so made for an easy trip. The original bookstore opened in Paris in 1919 (in a different location in the Left Bank) by Sylvia Beach.…

Gorgeous views from Bern’s Minster tower – Switzerland’s tallest cathedral spire
Last month, my husband and I were on a trip to Zurich. The weather was perfect, and we decided to take a daytrip by train to Switzerland’s capital – Bern. I’ve already written about our visit to the interesting Paul Klee Museum, built by Italian starchitect, Renzo Piano. We enjoyed the whole city, but one…
