The Agora Mania Bit
Well, another year is officially in the books! Another decade too (depending on how you count it). And by some special brand of holiday magic, the sentimental strains of Auld Lang Syne have already softened my recollections of the hectic and stressful days that led up to the sweet close of 2019! I’m talking […]
The ‘Twas (Yet More of) Another Year Bit
Holiday greetings! And welcome to my annual year end wrap-up inspired by the classic poem “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” – here we go! As the year and the decade both come to a close, I’m opting for poetry over plain prose! Looking back, ’twas an eventful annum of fun – With traditions continued and […]
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 Picture (Plu)perfect Bit
Ah, photo management in the digital age! Life is so easy now that we can fill the ether with edited and annotated snaps! Trouble is I still have a gigantic storage box full of hopelessly disorganized media from other ages. Included in this herd of Kodachrome cats are frayed photographs, 35mm slides, and negatives of […]
The Bit in “Plane” View
I just love a good view – from the higher up the better! Earlier this year when I flew from LA to New York, I took advantage of the opportunity to grab a few high elevation shots along the way! Afterwards, I was inspired to take a stroll through my photo collection in search of […]
The Travels With My Dad Bit
Yup – summertime is here! Time for barbecues, beach days, and from the days of my youth, time for hitting the road! I devoted my last post to trips I took with dear Mummy, so I thought it only fair to shift my focus for Father’s Day month to travels with my dad! Of course, […]
The Travels With My Mum Bit
Springtime greetings! For the month of May – Mother’s Day month! – I’ve been sifting through photos and memories from amazing trips I’ve shared with my mother over the years! It got me quizzing Mum about whether as a kid growing up in the Midwest, she ever imagined she’d travel to places like Australia, Greece […]
NYC: The Big Apple ‘Speed Date’ Bit (Part 2)
Welcome to Part 2 of my “speed date” with New York City! The thing is I was barely in Manhattan 24 hours (a few of which were spent sleeping), so there wasn’t time for the proper tour of a museum, or the taking in of a musical or a play. Like a speed date situation, it […]
NYC: The Big Apple ‘Speed Date’ Bit (Part 1)
It happened! As teased in a previous post, I got to visit New York City for the first time ever! It was an all too brief encounter of just two days in Manhattan – barely enough time to get a few first impressions. So I guess it was kind of like a speed date! I’d […]
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 […]
