I am in remission. And I am so very, very grateful. When we are born, we are issued a loose, gauzy garment of mortality. We wear it lightly. Freely. Invincibly. At least I did. That changed for me with a breast cancer diagnosis eighteen months ago. Suddenly, I was wearing that gar...
It is really powerful, but I am 90% sure I can cross to get us all a rope. Really? Yeah. I mean, if you have other ideas I’m all ears, but it looks like our best bet. Ok. You know if you fall you won’t get back up, it’s just a ride down to the falls? I ...

public/private bailout which warms the heart (but troubles the mind). Naturally, I opt to bank at a proper branch, where at least one ATM should work and there’s actual cash. But nothing is assured in today’s Cuba; when I arrive, the whole area is in a blackout. No banking ...

Mine sure is. Not only is Old Man Mercury showing off his limbo skills (SPOILER ALERT: How low can he go? To a wind chill of 11), I have a predilection for homebody rocking courtesy of my Cancer personality profile. And with a newfangled baby in tow, I need to calculate the ROI be...
