Be Still My Hart Plaza, Downtown Detroit
Photos of the Day

The Plaza was deserted, the expanse of the city at the

March: Come What May

Talking about the weather, really? Has it come to this?
Seems there’s an abundance of photo-takers out there, capturing our unseasonably hot Spring. These just in from southeast Michigan where the trees have been in full bl… Read full post »
At a Loss for Words
Funny thing about writing, it’s involuntary.

There's a story here somewhere, but I can't seem to find it.
Still picking up the pieces of a computer crash last week, where I've lost five months of memory and hundreds of pictures and files.
Two words for the day: backup, backup.

She's not mine. I just borrowed her for a shot I grabbed on the beach in Grand Cayman last Saturday, an hour before packing bags and boarding a plane back to Michigan. In the spirit of blogging, not thinking too hard or writing all that much about what I'm… Read full post »
Noshin' Hamantaschen for Purim
As in all things Jewish, there’s some debate over which came first, Purim or hamanstaschen. Purim is the Jewish festival commemorating the deliverance of ancient Persian Jews from destruction, as recorded in the biblical Book of Esther, also called the Megillah. The tr/… Read full post »
Fat Tuesday and where have all the foodies gone?
Mardi Gras: Shrove Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, who knew it was a day to flip crepes, pancakes, even latkes? In Michigan it's the start of paczki (Polish jelly donuts) season. At my request this morning, my husband is in the kitchen fixin' his all-time break/… Read full post »
Hot Yoga. Ouch?
Take a breath, seriously.
. . . inhale through the nose, exhale through the throat
I’m not about to claim yoga has changed my life. I began the “practice,” as we say, out of curiosity, with the luxury of time on my hands and the convenience of… Read full post »

Greetings with flowers in our room
Passages to India: Eyes on the Road
Views from the window. . . on the road from Delhi to Mumbai
My view from the window is a blank page, on which a cursor blinks awaiting digital input from fingers on the keyboard.

Breathe. Just breathe. That’s what I tell myself in anticipation of an eighteen-hour flight today. I can’t imagine Christmas Day in Delhi, but that’s where we’ll be, traveling in India with good friends. Friends who know their way.
