And so here we are, up to our eyeballs and ear canals in a virus pandemic. And here I am, currently at 8700 feet above sea level in the mountains of Colorado. During the fulfillment of my duties, I spent hours today driving. I covered a myriad of terrain, weather and sights. I have been…

Right now, as I type this, the world is freaking out as a new virus takes hold. Social media has, once again, changed the way we receive information. Hell, it has changed the way we react, too. It literally has changed everything.  I have debated if or when or what to write during this time…

I currently struggle with too much free time. Too much time that is not scheduled or committed or filled. I currently have nothing that I have to do. I struggle with time that does not tell me what I am supposed to do or when or how. Open ended, hours and hours of time. I…

It has been over a year since I started the process of rearranging my life. It has been a year since I started selling most of my belongings and exactly one year since I quite my job. I am quickly approaching the one year mark of the sale of my house and leaving what was…

Our global society, in fact, is still struggling with the management of such a deluge of information, interaction, engagement…

The signs became more familiar. I started to recognize cities, highways, byways, and knew exactly where to go without a map. I was headed back to the place where I started. I was headed home… or was I? I have written a lot about this concept of home. Technically, I do not have one. I…

It is no secret that I am a drinker. I have an entire section on this web site devoted to my tasting adventures. I am primarily a beer girl, like down to the bone, but I am open to drink, discuss and learn about any alcohol that is out there. I recognize that most towns…
