This is the sort of thing about that beautiful dog that somehow breaks my heart.

Yael took Tikva (Xena) with her to a farm where there were chickens running around. Yael told Tikva to lie down in a certain spot and stay there — heck, I just have to call Xena Xena. Xena is Xena, not Tikva. …continue reading

Beloved Blogreaders,

I don’t know what happened to me today! One of the very first things I do every morning is to write a blog entry. Writing a blog entry is one of the treats I give to myself.

Just now I realized: …continue reading

Dear Blogreaders,

With Lauren moving and my going on the road this autumn, Lauren and I are going to have a yard sale. This will be an in-house moving sale.

You won’t believe the stuff we both have. And that is even after …continue reading

There was a job in San Francisco that I really wanted. The job was advertised in the paper — Assistant to the Head of the USO.  For those who might not know, USO stands for United Service Organizations.  The mission of the USO is to provide morale, welfare, and recreation-type services to uniformed military personnel.

The woman who headed up the USO in San Francisco interviewed me. I thought the world of her, much the way Lauren admires Phenomenal Boss.  I wanted to work with this lady whose name I don’t remember. She thought …continue reading

You will get an idea from the following email from the Phenomenal Boss what a peach he is.  Alas, his email is a rejection.

We hope it’s not over yet. Lauren has a job-search strategist in her court (me) and has one more step she can take before taking no for an answer.

After you read P.B.’s email,  read Lauren’s response.  Her response is based on the idea that …continue reading

I think of jobs I was offered and didn’t take. All the turns in the road that I didn’t avail myself of. What if I had? How would my life be different? Or would it?

God in Heavenletters™  tells us not to look back. We can’t change a thing. We all know that. I know that, and yet I still do it.

There are six job possibilities I didn’t take that …continue reading

A Heavenletter written very recently said something like this: “It is possible that Beings on other planets look at Beings on Earth as extraterrestials.”

What was my reaction that I couldn’t believe? …continue reading

Since I’m into nostalgia, I have another memory that also took place in Europe. This memory, unlike my Romanian memories, took place a long long time ago.  Hmm, I see how these memories share a common thread.

I’m not positive, but I believe this memory took place in Germany. Just as I am not sure what country I was in, I don’t remember the name or specific identity of the person this recollection is about.

I am not sure whether he was the British Colonel I had met or the …continue reading

Where Lauren lives now in Fairfield, she has gorgeous pastoral scenes of trees and flowers and more trees and flowers.  For many years, Lauren has had a feast of astounding rural beauty. And now she is going to have a feast of urban beauty.

Yesterday …continue reading

Okay, Lauren had an appointment to meet with Phenomenal Boss yesterday at 4 p.m. She had sent an email confirming the date and time.

She drove to Chicago which is five to six hours away a day earlier than she had originally planned. She was dressed for success on a very hot muggy day. She found his beautiful home where his office is, and there really was street parking available. She arrived in perfect time.

The only thing is: …continue reading
