Blog postWatching West Wing on Netflix last night and my daughter didn’t realize that “CJ” (the press secretary) stood for Claudia Jean. I happen to really like the name and decided to use it for something. I started writing, it’s been a while, and I came up with what’s below. I really like the first paragraph. I do not have a working title which is very unusual for me. As usual though, I have no direction or story in my head and I did start with only a charcter name.
I had started with a -
Blog postFor many reasons I have been thinking about Lisa lately. One of the reasons, I’m not sure if I’m free to discuss, but the other reason she’s been on my mind is that twenty years ago this fall is when she was originally diagnosed. Two little words, “feel this,” changed our lives.
Many of you know that I have done three breast cancer walks in which I walked, with about 2,000 other people, 60 miles over three days. I did two in NY/NJ and one in Phoenix.

Blog postOn April 4th of this year I lost a friend, Rachel. I haven’t really thought too much about it, for a lot of reasons. There was a memorial service two weeks ago, which I didn’t attend. I had a previous commitment, and honestly, I wouldn’t have gone anyway due to a personal issue. I’m fairly certain Rachel would have understood, at least that’s how I justified it in my head. Regardless of what Rachel may have thought about it, she would have been blunt in her opinion.

Blog postThere he sat,
At the table,
Thoughts on her,
In the kitchen.
There he stood,
Outside the door,
Afraid to knock,
He looked in the window.
The man at the table,
The man outside,
The love inside,
The loss outside.
At the table he stayed,
Away from the window he walked,
Inside, life went on,
Outside, life stopped.
The belief in deep,
Misplaced faith in the world,
Funny thing is, -
Blog postOne of my favorite things as a kid was reading the Sunday comics. I would always be the first one up, and have the paper spread out on the living room floor, and always comics first.
I was thrilled when I discovered one day that there were comics in the daily paper too. One of the strips I discovered in the daily paper was Love Is… In high school I started cutting out my favorite ones, and taping them up on the wall next to my bed.
About ten years ago a friend of mine asked me -
Blog postBeing single really, really sucks a lot of the time.
Over the years I’ve discovered that dating sites are just a faster, more efficient way of being rejected. I suppose from a distance is better than in person.
So, I’ve decided to craft a little comparability test, to narrow the scope of candidates.
Here we go.
1. You think pets are _______________.
A. your children
B. are adorable, your Facebook page is full of cat memes
C. for dinner < -
Blog postAlmost everyday I look at my life, and think about how different it might be if I had gone to college.
After graduating high school, I was not ready for college at all. I did not exactly have the best role models for the college experience either. That didn’t help.
My father did not go to college. After high school, he joined a union to become an electrician. He was not a very good student in his younger days. Nothing wrong with that, the world needs trades people just as equa -
Blog postI Unexpectedly took about a month off from writing. Felt very beat up by life starting mid February, and I didn’t want to complain about it, so I decided to let the writing slide.
This space is many different things for me depending on the day. Sometimes it’s a soapbox, sometimes it’s a commercial and sometimes it’s a silent plea for help that no one recognizes. I don’t want it to be a place to bitch, but at the same time, there is a certain therapy in that.

Blog postI’m taking advantage of a moment. A moment that almost never occurs. An inspiration to write when I’m actually in a position to write. A much better position than writing in my head, and forgetting later, which is the norm. “Norm!” Cheers fans nod your heads.
I had time to kill (I dislike that phrase, not sure why I use it) after work, and before picking up the kidoodle. So, what did I do? That’s right, I sat in Starbucks. You may all have a cookie. Calm down Becca, I had a small, reg -
Blog postI Love clouds. I have my head in the clouds much of the time anyway, so it just stands to reason.
I knew clouds existed since I saw them for the first time, whenever that was. The first time I really saw them though, the very first time, I was about seven years of age. It was on a camping trip in the Adirondacks, probably in July. We were fishing, my brother, my father and I.
It was a row boat which was rented from the campground. Every year we would rent a boat, and my
