Besides making music, I really love to take pictures – especially of nature. I also love to write about interesting people that I get to meet. There’s always a story. Recently, I was lucky enough to have been invited to the home of extraordinary husband and wife environmentalists, Jean Blackburn and Steven Schaefer. Their 14-acre […]

As the holiday season is in full swing, so is the massive pileup of consumerism happening under my Christmas tree. Though we are paring down it feels like we could handle “go time” now, with plenty of evenly-distributed presents ready to build a present hill before each boy. Try as we might, there will be new “stuff” everywhere and as they say, “out with the old, in with the new.” It is hard to look at the neatly wrapped presents with matching paper and coordinating bows without thinking of where the new items will end up, and not just what’s inside but also all of that packaging.

What are you curious about? Do you gaze at the stars and wonder if on some distant planet, another life form is peering your way too? Does an inanimate object send your mind reeling, wondering how ancient civilizations had the wherewithal to develop the tools and equipment to insure their people flourished? Is it difficult for you to drive past an old barn or stately church without thinking about the countless memories the walls of the buildings have protected all these years? Albert Einstein said, “I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” If you are a curious person, then you thrive on discovery and learning.

Welcome to August! Leaving July and entering August means one thing for most of us—Back to School. Yes, this has been one quick summer. I remember when August was all yours as a kid, the last month of freedom before Labor Day which was the signal that school was beginning. Now, kids are out of school before Memorial Day and back in weeks ahead of Labor Day, thus seeming to shorten the time spent away from the books. For parents, a return to school means many things. First, and an obvious foremost, kids will be doing their own thing during the day, away from you and your home. Perhaps this makes your heart twang in a sad way as the uncertainty of a new routine awaits. Or, if you’re a seasoned parental unit, maybe you are counting down the days until you have your freedom and sanity back. It’s o.k., we’ve all been there.
