Rebooting the New Year

Rebooting the New Year

I don’t know about you, but for me, this winter has been a washout. I survived the holidays, but I couldn’t get it together to make New Year’s resolutions, much less follow them. My creativity has been in hibernation, but now that the days are getting longer, I’m feeling stirrings of new life. And Daylight… [Read More]

Super Don and Baby Donny: Battle of the malignant narcissists

I wrote this dialogue between Donald Trump’s super-ego and id soon after the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, and I’m publishing it here for the first time on February 10th in the midst of his second impeachment trial. As more and more damning details emerge about his role in inciting violence, and the… [Read More]

The Most Over-Hyped Time of the Year

Once again, I’m reposting this oldie but goodie. It’s Christmas Eve, and like many of you, I can’t wait to bid 2020 goodbye and good riddance. Marooned at home with my husband, my dog and my cat, I’ve been surprisingly cheerful all year, but I haven’t really gotten into the Christmas spirit. But for old… [Read More]

Order prints of my paintings for last-minute holiday gifts!

Order prints of my paintings for last-minute holiday gifts!

At long last, I’m offering Giclee prints of paintings I showed at the Woodstock Festival of Music and Art in 1969, as well as some later paintings. These are museum-quality high-definition prints on archival paper. I’m working out the logistics with some firms that specialize in fine art reproductions. They won’t be available till January,… [Read More]

Christmas Consumption–remember when we shopped till we dropped?

Christmas Consumption–remember when we shopped till we dropped?

I wrote this poem four years ago, in 2017. I never dreamed how drastically my habits as a consumer would change in a single year, but Covid-19 has utterly destroyed the joy I used to take in spending. Not just in shopping, but in so much more—dining out in restaurants, going to movies, and most… [Read More]

Mania at Regeneron: how my temp job at the dawn of the new millennium drove me crazy

Mania at Regeneron: how my temp job at the dawn of the new millennium drove me crazy

I sent this piece to the Albany Times Union a week ago in hopes they’d run it on their editorial page, but they haven’t published it. I suspect they won’t, because Trump’s never never land evolves with breakneck speed, and Regeneron is no longer front-page news. So here it is: I’m glad to see Regeneron… [Read More]
