I am an alchemist

Aloha, Namaste, How are ya'll today? I had a very interesting afternoon today and wanted to share my process of coping. So here goes.

A primer on making photocopies

When kiddo was little, very little, I used to do something that I am not proud of. I used to squeeze her hand to let her know that what she was doing or saying was not right. Example - if we were at a party and I was chatting with someone (a grown up) and …

My neighbors gave me lemons, I made lemonade

How about some Monday fun with the title - got your attention, yes? Seriously though, my neighbors love me so much that whenever they have excess lemons, they just leave a sack at my doorstep. I have to look at the bag to know who might have left it. Back to my story , so …

Every summer it is a ritual for us to attend the community picnic. It is organized by our city in a lush green lawn overlooking a pool. Kids jump into the pool while adults hover on the lawn nibbling at corn cobs and watermelon wedges. This summer has been different. I have been walking past …

Friday Humor – I ate salad today, you?
