I made it work even though I had company. After a day of running around in Natick looking at furniture for the playroom, playing at the Apple Store and the Lego store and the play space we made it home and carved out about 30 mins. to do the workout. I had company of the…
Category: Arts & Entertainment
The Arts keep us going. They are a reflection of life as it was, life as it is, life as it will be and life as we wish it to be (or as we fear it to be). It is important to support the arts and to take in the arts. It is good for the soul.
Pencil It In: This Week

The dewdrops fairy’s bodice and tutu alone has 4,000 crystals set on it. Each one done…
From Royals to Oil: I’m ready for Thanksgivukkah
I started off totally dismissing Thanksgivukkah but then when I learned that it’s not going to happen for a very long time I thought I might pay a little attention to it. I don’t like messing with the traditional Thanksgiving menu, but as the holiday came closer into focus I warmed to the idea. Megin…
Revenge, Opium, Love & Loss at the Ballet
It is refreshing in an age when a certain pair of shoes is “to die for” and one Kardashian sister is ready to kill the other because a shirt has been borrowed without permission, to be reminded of greater tragedies. Being reminded that love, betrayal, and loss are the true tragedies in life. Love, betrayal…
