The Places of Honor Bit
Greetings! And a happy Veterans Day as we in the US let those who’ve served in the military know how much they mean! Also, after spending a fair number of November days in Canada (while playing recreation ice hockey!), I’ve picked up the habit of observing Remembrance Day as well, and honoring those who gave […]
The Journeys with Shakespeare Bit
Good morrow to ye! I’m still feeling slightly Elizabethan-y after a pleasant rendezvous last weekend with a couple friends – and with my all time favorite playwright! On a warm evening in Griffith Park, we took in the Independent Shakespeare Company’s charming outdoor production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre – and while there are questions surrounding […]
THE KEEPING IN TOUCH BIT
2019 greetings! Although we’re well into the New Year, afraid I only just completed my final holiday related chore – I cleared from my living room bookshelf all the delightful cards I’d received from family and friends over the month of December. Yes, I’m a notorious procrastinator. But I can honestly say I put off […]
The Bit Where I Turn Five!
Well, no – I’m not actually turning five. (That happened, uh, rather a long time ago…) But it was five years ago that I embarked on a journey like none I’d taken before – I started Tesserology! Now, given that I can’t even keep a house plant alive for five years, this is a major […]
The Tea Timing Bit

I attended two teas. Tea and […]
The Strolling “In” Memory Lane Bit
So I’ve had this theory about my brain. I think it reached maximum storage capacity a while back, and now whenever there’s something new I need to remember, an old memory gets randomly deleted for the space. But the return of an ancient memory during one of my travels made me rethink this theory. And it […]
THE NOT “IT” BIT
“Is that it..?” Clearly disappointed, the woman fidgets in her bus seat as she squints down the road. “Well, if that’s it, we can check it out and still have time to do some shopping in town!” This was the reaction I couldn’t help overhearing when a fellow tourist got her first glimpse of Stonehenge – […]
THE GREENWICH “ME” TIME BIT
Whenever I’m lucky enough to find myself in London (my favorite city in the world!), I love to downshift at some point from hectic touring and catch a slow boat to Greenwich – it’s like cruising through time! I usually try to pack as much sightseeing as I can into a trip because I never know […]
