Guess which former mayor-turned-late-to-the-game DeadHead is off to Central Park to see part of said band play? This man is one incredibly lucky guy, on so m...

Can you imagine that this man is 77 years old, and still playing rock music to sold out crowds? Funk wants to be him when he grows up. I told him he’d have t...

I’m one of those weird mothers. I wanted to have a natural birth so that I could experience the experience. Wanted to connect to a higher power, to lay down ...

I was brought up to believe that showing vulnerability was a sign of weakness. Now I understand that it takes great strength to be who we are: to speak our d...

The other day I posted about finding a heart rock that I felt was placed in my path. I wasn’t having the best day, so it seemed like a message of love sent f...

Some things are so sad. I didn’t know Willis Hossler, except through Facebook. I can’t remember how we found each other. All I know is that he responded in t...

“No problem.” That is the response I received at the gym this morning, when I thanked the front desk staff for the sauna being hot today. This is a ridiculou...

My sister’s untimely death has taught me that I’d better start looking at the gifts people bring me BEFORE they pass, not after. Or I’ll forever be picking u...

My tongue is killing me, from biting back words! God is testing me, as always. This happens whenever I make a proclamation to the Universe. Lately, I’ve been...

I did not vote for Donald Trump. But I will not be disrespectful of our country’s newest leader by raging about him. For one, complaining only makes me power...

There’s a backstory to this post: My husband was mayor of a large city, so I have the most minuscule taste of what it’s like to be recognized on the street. ...

Raise your hand if you’d go here! Photo: this sign was seen by my daughter Tara and I yesterday as we walked in DuPont Circle. Since we both have a sick sens...

I am a terrible mother – just ask my son Andrew, he’ll tell you! The designation today, though, comes from me. I missed my Italian exchange daughter Anna’s w...

Living with a brainiac is so boring. Why? Because I know things that I really don’t care to know. For instance, what is a debt ratio, and how does a city bal...

It’s not my fault. THEY created this animal! From the time I was little, I couldn’t wait to be a wife and a mother. Once Funk and I started dating, I couldn’...

I hope Funk doesn’t have a Walk-In inhabiting his body: A spirit that calls someone else’s earthly body home for a little while. Why the concern? For the fir...

This post is actually a tribute to Donna Jean Godchaux of the Grateful Dead. I try not to listen to Row Jimmy too much, because I don’t want to get sick of i...

Dear Friends and Family, It’s been 2½ years since we left Kansas City, and DC finally feels like home. That’s probably because we moved. Again! I thought we’...

One life is all we have and we live it as we believe in living it. But to sacrifice what you are, and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible th...
