Posted on March 30, 2007

Posted on March 22, 2007

We’re one day into Official Spring, and I’m struck with how isolated I’ve been all winter. I’ve hardly read a newspaper or listened to a broadcast. I know we’re still in Iraq, that some Democrats and Republicans are already running

On June 24, 1979 I married Jeff Wolf, for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, etc. It wasn’t done capriciously, because at the time I thought it was a good decision. However, time proved me wrong; the

Happy Eighty-Eighth

Posted on June 21, 2006
