Embracing a Spacious Tomorrow

The Summer of Renovations continues with a house purge to end all house purges. I’m so tired. It’s been a long time coming, my friends.   So, my horoscope today was most encouraging: “Find comfort in your work today, Scorpio…. checking things off your list is the most rewarding activity today… Mountains that seem too […]

The One Thing Everyone Asks About China

Some of you know we recently traveled to China. It was an amazing trip, but I’ll spare you the blow-by-blow because we’ve all lived through slide shows of Uncle Morris’s trip to Wisconsin as a kid. But I will relate one story. If you’re… delicate… you may want to give this one a miss. Otherwise, […]

The Things We Do For Love

As many of you already know, our 13-year old miniature poodle Myshkin slipped on the icy steps last week and came up lame. Not just a little lame, but three-legged, no toe-touching, time-won’t-heal-this-owie lame. We were pretty sure it was a ruptured cruciate ligament, which for best healing, requires surgery. Especially in an old dog. […]
