Full Moon On Friday – Grayson Sacca
Another gorgeous early morning meal with Claire and Honey at Casa Claire. With the first night of the full February Snow Moon upon us, I am thankful that the flurries yesterday didn’t stick. You see, the ladies have their mani-pedis tomorrow followed immediately by a delivery of what I hope will be enough hay to […]
Feeling The Magic Of The Winter Moon
These early hours, when most of the rest of the world that impacts me is asleep, is when I feel the magik strongest on Casa Claire. It is the time when I feel most creative. It is the time when I have written all five novels and the countless blogs since 2021. This feeling is […]
Dear Veronica
Some of you fine, five readers will remember my meaningful on-line exchange with Veronica, the mother of Joshua Redmyer, a fine young man whom I met one day while completing a photo shoot with Kyle Dooley for Finding Jimmy Moran at Mike O’Shay’s in Longmont. That meeting with Josh was just one of the many […]
Leaving One’s Mark
Yesterday warmed up enough for me to get some additional work done outside on a day when I didn’t want to work inside. I’ve noticed Lisa testing the dust levels in the basement with her white glove. I did get some outside work done on Sunday, but I managed to skyve some time with a […]
Honey In The Sun – RICO
My youngest son, Mark, and his amazing wife, Sara (Nee Moran) – that’s right, her dad is the real Jimmy Moran, who along with M&S (and sister Dana) are all authentic NYPD Blue. I am extremely proud of all of their selfless efforts – along with their 30+K brothers and sisters – to keep NYC […]
Lesley Romani – Tough As Catshit
Received word this morning from Lenny that Lesley Romani passed. Her daughter had posted the news on her face book page. I’ve known Lesley since Kindergarten at PS 81. We then spent the following eight years at St. Maggies. I’m pretty sure Lesley was a cheerleader. We also hung and partied in the same Riverdale […]
Less Than Two Months Out – Where The Ley Lines Meet Is Making Moves – The Value Of Cross-Over Fans
It’s been a quiet week for WTLLM. It’s been floating in the low hundreds in Amazon rankings while its siblings have sat comfortably in the top hundred. So I was thrilled to come in from the cold winter morning, having fed Claire and Honey, to find the kids back all together playing in the best […]
Fridays Just Work
I believe you are conditioned from your first twelve years in school to learn to really appreciate Fridays and really dislike Mondays. It’s Pavlovian. I’ve always felt bad that Monday had to play the bad guy role. I’ve not spoken to any of my retired friends to see if this changes over time when there […]
Control Only Your World – Don’t Quit – Don’t Surrender.
Time for a rant. You cannot watch any of the news outlets these days without wondering where everything is headed in the world we inhabit. In 67 years I have never experienced as much negative energy out there beyond my property lines. It is times like this where I thank the Universe (feel free to […]
A Parliament Of Fowls – St. Valentine’s Day
“So short our lives, so hard the lessons, so difficult the tests, so sudden the final victory, so tenuous the hope of joy that so easily evaporates into fear – this is what I mean by Love.” And with these words did Geoffrey Chaucer, 14th Century English Poet best known for his epic series of […]
