If life is a carnival then lately it is a carnival of unbridled self-regard, self-interest and self-promotion out there. The movers and shakers in the Finance world prescribe techniques to make money with spiritual perfection. No work of art or entertainment or its producer is allowed to showcase them without a dispiriting spectacle or devised campaign Read More

I was reluctant to start a Facebook page thinking that all that connecting with people from my past might be daunting. I already have a full time job so that social media seemed to be another one. I was pleasantly surprised that I loved reuniting with people past and just last week, a crazy thing happened Read More

A happy one to you though I always thought it strange that Love was symbolized by Cupid–a rolly polly little guy carrying dangerous weapons. I am falling in love again with the poet John Keats. As a young man living in Hampstead Heath, he fell in love with the seventeen year old Fanny Brawne who became Read More

Wanted to wish one and all a very merry holiday. I will start to blog again in the New Year. It’s been a very busy life lately, what with going to Los Angeles for my best friend’s 50th Birthday party and keeping up my radio programs. I thank you all for listening! Read More

I have just realized I haven’t blogged for at least one month. Gasp! I had an extremely hectic October doing much research and interviewing for AM 740.

When I was twenty-six or twenty-seven I thought there was not much time left before it would be too late, before I would die from the deep dissatisfaction of my life. I had always done things well. I had achieved what I set out to do in television. I had been praised for it but Read More

Oh Yes I did…and I also have hugged Wayne Newton. Both are good huggers but I’d have to say that I loved hugging Wayne Newton more. First of all, he is taller than you think, and being embraced by him was like dancing with a donut. One day, I promise, dear reader, are you out Read More

When I think about the way love came into my life, and not just once but quite a few times, I’m still so amazed. Out of left field, like a meteor, without rhyme or reason leaving me breathless. Often, it was when I was at my saddest and thinking it would never come. Other times, I Read More

This is what I have posted up on my fridge. “Stop looking for an external love because if you could find it, you would want to control it. And if you could control it you wouldn’t want it anymore. There is a difference between an obsession and a love affair.” I wonder if that’s true? Read More
