It is an old story. I broke my glasses and went in for an exam only to find I wasn't a candidate for lasik and my progressives were going to cost me. I brought in an antique gold frame only to have it broken by a technician. I found an inexpensive frame for about $350 and should be up and running

The one thing that was plentiful when I bought my new very old house in the Berkshires eight years ago was the forsythia. I have three areas where it grows, grows and grows some more. I like a natural look but it does require attention lest it envelope the entire yard and home. Keeping the height

Today is a new chance to begin, to thrive and to find some degree of success. Yesterday was simply one of those days when everything that seemed to happen was bad, really bad. I won't dwell on that now because the sun came up today and I am alive. I will soon be at the eye doctor for my annual ex

I had hope to see Gladys Knight at Tanglewood tonight but it is raining and the inside is sold out. I am bummed. It's been a tough day all around and so maybe I am better off at home. This was going to be my one night to be a guest this season. Some days it is better to just stay in bed. I think

In a way I think this is funny, because at my home, everyday is a dog day and I am lucky to be surrounded by my four legged family. I am still coping with the loss of my best boy Billy the Kid, who I lost about six weeks ago. He will always be in my heart and is actually buried in my back yard. T

This will be my last week at Tanglewood this season. If the weather is good, I will be there three times. On Wednesday I am hoping to see Gladys Knight along with the Spinners but if it rains I won't be able to sit on the lawn and I will just go and work the two remaining concerts I am scheduled

Fall is and has always been my favorite season. I love the crispness in the air and the colors that come in fall. This morning is cool, not quite fall but getting there. I worked at Tanglewood last night and it was the first time a jacket was really required once the sun went down. I am hoping th

The summer season is waning, the days are getting shorter and Tanglewood will soon be over. This is the eighth year I have worked there and it is largely the same. Decisions are made in Boston and I think of it as upside down world. Does this make sense? No, then let's do it. That is the way many
