What a month March has been. I started the month by traveling to Chile and then flying to Patagonia, where I cruised for three days. When I returned, I wasn't screened in this country at all despite the virus being well underway. Since then the world has become something I no longer recognize. I

Wonderful,wonderful...........I remember listening to that voice say this when I was a kid. My parents always watched the Lawrence Welk Show. If you are too young to remember this, Lawrence was an old guy who had an orchestra, played the accordion and had a weekly variety show. He was a good danc

Yesterday I called my cousin to check in on her and her family in New York City. They are all fine and hanging in while doing the best they can. Unfortunately, she told me about her friend who called to say she had lost her partner to this virus. He was older and health compromised but he died a

Two weeks ago yesterday I flew back from Chile, where I had spent ten days in Santiago and then mostly in Patagonia. I fly Business Class and met a Chilean man next to me who was traveling for work to Chicago and then Detroit for about six weeks. I have thought about him a lot in the last couple

I am thinking a lot more than usual lately, and I have deduced that time well spent is neither something to be taken for granted or taken at face value either. In these troubling and uncertain times I am thinking about lots of things but foremost among them is time spent with good people in good
