Out of Patients
I love stories about life coming full circle. And this is one of those stories. Matthew Zachery and I met eight years ago at his office in Manhattan. A brain cancer survivor, he had founded Stupid Cancer, a national support group/advocacy group/vocal and determined movement for young adult cancer. And at that time, I was […]

Ahhh …
What’s your “ahhh” place? Images of beaches are what live in my heart. I grew up on the shores of Lake Michigan, learning to swim was a requirement to graduate from the high school. Childhood summers were picnics on the beach, but only after we finished our chores. Michigan winters drove us to Sanibel Island, […]

NCCS Love

The wires were abuzz …
Okay, so maybe radio doesn’t travel via wires, but it sounds good, right? In any event, this interview was fun. Leonard Lopate is a New York City radio icon. And he interviewed me for an hour on WBAI’s Lopate at Large! Curl up with a cup of coffee and a glass of wine and enjoy […]
