I am an East Coast expatriate hiding out in the Midwest...

I am an urban gal living in the suburbs and occasionally hiding in the country

I am a yoga practitioner, fitness enthusiast, believer in the mind-body-spirit connection...

I am a mid-life "revert" to the Roman Catholic faith in which I was raised and which has become an enormous source of support, encouragement, inspiration, and joy in my life...

I am a mom, sister, daughter, and wife...

I am an explorer; adventurous and curious about the world and people around me...

I am educated in the formal sense but I gain insight through everyday living...

I created this blog at a time of great fear and apprehension in my life. I chose to sustain it because of the discoveries about myself and the world around me that it has revealed.



What you can expect to find here:
  • the documentation of a love-hate relationship with the greater Philadelphia area
  • reminiscing about the good-ole-days (the 80's!)
  • complaints about my various ailments and injuries, both real and imagined
  • pictures and stories of gardening, decorating, shopping, sewing
  • my love of irony
  • links to kooky news stories
  • way too much scatological musing for sane people

    A Shameless Plug

    This morning I decided to listen to my alma mater's student-run radion station as I browsed blogs, news stories, and bank accont infoormation as I sipped my morning coffee.

    Monday-Friday mornings they broadcast Jazz from 5am-12:30pm with breaks for news on the hour (or half-hour?)

    Anyway, it turned out an old radio friend of mine was dj'ing today. In my college days I was a devoted alterna-rock dj, and also had fun doing a hiphop show as well as working in the administration of the station - eventually working my way up to the (elected) position of General Manager my senior year. But this British gent - I believe he was either a gradate student or employee of the University or possibly both - always played the smoothes jazz - always listenable and enjoyable to my ears. He is the longest-continous DJ at WNUR - over 2 decades on the air as a VOLUNTEER! Kudos to Flavian for a job well done!

    If you are looking for some great jazz music that you wil likely hear nowhere else, you can listen right on your pc each Friday morning, CST, from 7-10am:

    Enjoy.

    Two decades as a volunteer dj? He must really like jazz!

    Interesting to think you were a dj, since I only know you from the written word. You must have a good voice.
