Today is Alexander Graham Bell Day. Why March 7? It was on this day in 1876 that Bell received a patent for “transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically,” and on March 10, Bell made the now iconic statement, “Mr. Watson, come here. I need you," which...

A Day in My Life, March 6, 2024 – National Oreo Cookie Day
It's a good thing it's National Oreo Cookie Day. I need a cookie. Maybe a dozen. This morning, my son and his wife called me to say they need financial help because their septic tank is backing up into their house. Gross. Horrible. They need our help. They both work...
A Day in My Life, March 5, 2024: National Sportsmanship Day
Today is National Sportsmanship Day--a day began in 1991 to encourage people who play sports to demonstrate collegiality and good behavior while playing sports. As a sports fan, this intrigued me. As the grandmother of children who participate in organized sports, I...
A Day in My Life 2024: March 3, 2024: National Anthem Day
30-day blogging challenge Today, March 3, 2024, is National Anthem Day I decided today's post will be about my experiences singing The National Anthem at baseball games--and auditioning to sing it at the big league parks. As you can probably surmise, I haven't been...
A Day in My Life: National Read Across America Day
Today, March 2, is "National Read Across America Day." I wish it were Tuesday, because that's the day I normally go into a school in Schenectady, New York, and read to a couple of students to help them with their reading skills. I volunteer with a local group called...
A Day in the Life, 2024 Edition: Happy “National Write a Letter Appreciation Week”
I'm in my eighth decade of life, and I've come to realize that there's a week or a day to commemorate just about everything. When I worked in a long-term care association, there was Nursing Home and Nurse's Month in May. As a folk music DJ, I'm happy that we still...
Award-winning Author
It’s a novel about baseball–and life.
Three strangers met by chance in 1972 with one thing in common: baseball. They want to become major league baseball players. They were star pitchers on the baseball teams in their respective home towns, and baseball is what brought them together to play for a minor-league team in a remote town in western New York.

A Day in the Life – Process Edition
I began doing "a day in the life" blogs in January in response to a 30-day challenge from the Rave Reviews Book Club (@RRBC). I missed one day and my negligence eliminated me from the challenge. That's okay; however, I have been remiss in adding more blogs to this...
A Day in My Life – Gratitude Edition – January 24, 2023
A lesson in gratitude for today. On Sunday I bought a huge package of stew meat from BJs. It was way too big for the two of us to eat. I made a big crock pot of beef stew and still had a lot left over. I was trying to figure out how to freeze it when a woman with...
A Day in My Life – Major Snow Edition – January 23, 2023
We have about six inches of snow today and it's still steadily falling. I've been listening to the radio station where I work all morning. They run a show every weekday at this time called The Roundtable from 9 AM-noon ET (www.wamc/roundtable.org). The first...
A Day in My Life – Gifted and Talented Edition – January 22, 2023
Today I'm winding down a bit, trying not to get too involved in anything. Some people I saw this morning at church were all hyped up about the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals football game tonight. I don't really follow football, but I do understand why this may be...
A Day in My Life – Red Sox Edition – January 21, 2023
Today I got up early (well, early for me) and drove the 100 miles it takes to get to the MGM Grand Casino to attend Red Sox Winter Weekend. This is an event they began in 2015 (n.b.: I have attended all of them--none took place in 2021 and 2022 due to the pandemic). I...
A Day in My Life – Red Sox Winter Weekend Preview – January 20, 2023
Well, here it is, Friday, and I haven't accomplished much today. I did go to the sporting goods store and purchased baseballs to bring with us tomorrow to the #RedSox Winter Weekend event. My son, grandson, and granddaughter (the only female grandchild we have out of...
