This dark image is of me on TV.  I’m in the front row on the left next to the man with a full beard. while singing on PBS Television

I may be losing my voice but I used to have a nice one. I sang harmony well and enjoyed singing along with a local  NYC choral group, and with a rock band, and in the shower.

The activity brought me a lot of joy, but now, my voice sounds like I have a permanent cold. I also used to play music competently, but now I can no longer reach the high notes. It's very difficult to accept this new reality.

KUDOS to my favorite new teenager today. I want to say that I survived the seven-year itch, which lasted to the ripe old age of 19.

I am writing this to you while you are sleeping. Not only because of the time difference but because GB knows you like to sleep late as much as possible.This is also because of your genes.

My youngest grandchild Olivia and her mother Sabrina, who is my youngest say they had a wonderful time at the movies this week.

Wicked is a fascinating take on the Wizard of Oz universe, offering a fresh perspective on familiar characters. The way Wicked reimagines the Wicked Witch of the West, for example, has allowed fans to see the story from a more nuanced viewpoint, adding layers of complexity to the classic tale.

Just in time for turkey-day, MSNBC is reportedly watching their ratings crumple following GOP's Election Day’s razor thin victory.

My late grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Rosenberg, who died at 98, was a calm and generally unflappable school teacher born in 1888 near Minsk, Russia. Her parents emigrated to the USA for better opportunities here when she was six months old. Born Mary Marholin, she self-adopted a middle name because, as she told me, so many of her Irish immigrant schoolmates had Elisabeth as a middle name.

She visited me in a dream last night while I was considering what we should do to survive four years of an angry, despotic president elected by the slimmest of margins.

Producing a playlist on social media platforms is easy. The younger generation isn’t aware of the effort required for a perfect mixtape.

I am referencing the years before the onset of streaming music platforms or even digital music sharing and file compression.

As I attempt to save some of my classics, I decided to share these files with you and would enjoy any constructive criticism you wish to share. Listen and I know you will enjoy something.

While things did not always go well for most of us when we’were attending school, Charlie Brown often got the last laugh.

Not many dogs can say they have gone to a real school before, but at the end of the day, Snoopy is nowhere near like most dogs. Many of the Snoopy in school comic strips show the more childlike or whimsical side of Snoopy, while others show his temper flare, all culminating in intriguing and hilarious comic strips of Peanuts.
