How a Near-Death Experience Jump Started My Memoir

How a Near-Death Experience Jump Started My Memoir

There’s nothing like a near-death experience to bring home the realization that it’s high time to get to work on that memoir you’ve been procrastinating about for ages. My own epiphany came about when I emerged from emergency brain surgery the day before Halloween. I’d been laid low by a subdural hematoma on October 29th—ironically,… [Read More]

Losing my ambition–a poem about lazy summer days

I wrote this poem in late July, and since then I’ve been following my own advice and taking it easy. But August has been unusually cool, and the past week has felt more like September. Maybe that’s why I feel ambition creeping back in ahead of schedule. Why wait for Labor Day when I can… [Read More]

Camelot, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the End of Innocence

The media coverage of the fiftieth anniversary of the assassination of John F. Kennedy has been inescapable these past few weeks.

Remembering 1979: Year of the Bee Gees, Donna Summer and Etan Patz

At long last, after 33 years, they’ve arrested the alleged murderer of Etan Patz, the six-year-old boy  who went missing on his first walk to the bus stop near his home. I knew Etan and his family, and to this day, I have a vivid memory of the moment I learned he had disappeared. Like… [Read More]

Together in Joy and Creativity – Reflections on marriage and music

My husband and I celebrated our thirty-seventh wedding anniversary on May 3rd, and I’ve been thinking about what’s kept us together all these years. Paradoxically, one of those togetherness factors is separation – especially when it comes to music. About a decade ago, when the City of Albany was building the pedestrian bridge over Route… [Read More]

Am I a patient here? My mysterious ophthalmological morning

April 27, 2010 By webmaster Leave a Comment

Tomorrow’s the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar Week Symposium in New York City. I sent in my check back in February, especially because the cocktail party that follows the day of talks and panels is limited in size, and I wanted to be sure to snag myself a reservation in plenty of time. I’m ambivalent… [Read More]
