Blog postI’ve started a new series on some classic old bars of the East Bay.
Here’s the first one, published on Berkeleyside:

Blog postNovember 21st is Martha’s birthday. She’s been gone several years now. Her birthday still pops up on my Google calendar. I don’t intend to do anything to change it.Seeing this reminder of her birthday gives me the opportunity to celebrate her life and our friendship every November. (This was originally posted in 2013)
As they say in the movies, we met cute. My husband and I were flying home from a trip to San Diego, sitting across the aisle from each other -
Blog postThe online magazine, You and Me, recently published the last of three articles I wrote about my journey from diagnosis to the present.
In case you missed the first two, they are here too. Yes, there is still numbness and there are some awkward moments, and my food choices have remained somewhat narrow, but others have experienced so much worse…keeping my perspective and hoping for small improvements.

Blog post7:58 AM on June 6.
Welcome to the world, James!
My first words after his birth: “He’d better love me his whole life!”
Well, it’s the kind of thing you say after hours and hours of labor…
We knew some things about him before he was born (I had the test, knew he was a boy; had another test that showed his heart was okay), but the rest was a mystery that would unfold as he grew up.
We thought we knew a few things about being parents, with 8 1/2 years of -

Blog postYes, our mother made us both wear the hamantaschen costumes
It’s April 9th, my sister’s birthday. Four years ago, in 2014, I was out of town at the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop and missed celebrating with her. So I put together something special to make up for being away. Today I will spend the day with some of her good friends, sharing stories and memories. (I posted this in previous years also.) In case you missed it, here it is again: a recycled virtual birthday card:

Blog postOnce I started writing my latest article for Berkeleyside’s Nosh, I became fascinated with the colorful history of brunch and brunch cocktails. I may have gotten a little carried away, but that’s what editors are for.
However, I really wanted to share a couple of things that were left on the virtual cutting room floor.
According to many sources, the mimosa originated in Paris in 1925, the invention of Hôtel Ritz bartender Frank Meier. The name refers to the mimosa (Aca -
Blog postI’m copying (stealing?) this idea from a new author friend, Erika Mailman. In a year where it felt like I didn’t do much writing, it’s good to look back and see what I actually did. It felt like a rather unproductive year, writing-wise, but the evidence shows it wasn’t as unproductive as I thought. For quite a while after my surgery*, I didn’t feel like doing very much, including writing. But I eventually pulled myself away from the couch and Netflix, and got some words written down. The surg

Blog postToday, November 14th, is my birthday. I’m moved, overwhelmed, and touched by all the birthday love I’ve received from friends and family.
And here are two things that happened to mark this day in 2017:
The dream I had night before last, where my sister appeared as a surprise visitor–here to spend my birthday with me, she told me, even though she’s been gone for two and a half years. And today, going through a random box of cards and letters from my 50th year, I found this typed le
