Saturday at the PGA Championship at Aronimink. If you were to look at these posts alone - these moments of time, the perfectly manicured grass, visors, lobster rolls, bottles of bourbon and re-architected bunkers - you’d be missing the joy, but also the effort in the experience. The planning and pacing involved. The cognitive drain. The KTape. Don’t get me wrong, this weekend was fun and (thanks to Rich) definitely lacking in FOMO and wasn’t without gratitude. It also inspired me to share my packing list - a “what’s in my bag,” if you will, of sick person stuff for a long day out 🥳🤓 Hope it helps. Stay tuned.

This quarter’s salon selfie brought to you by a teeny tiny touch of FaceTune (to blur the sickly tired look I’ve been wearing lately) but more importantly featuring the amazing work of Anh at She makes beautiful happen. 💕her✨

Not sure how this happened but baby boy turned FIFTEEN today. From living in my first apartment, to protecting his human cousin while an embryo and beyond, to inpatient rehab visits and gentle greetings with my grandson he has been my love, my child, my constant, my sweet little Velcro bear. You’ve made my life bigger and better in so many ways. Happy Birthday, Monkey - I love you so so much 🐶💙

This weekend: Florence + The Machine @ The Barclay’s Center (Brooklyn). It was bold. It was beautiful. Also included: stunning views, spectacular spaces, the first sighting of a Carlos vending machine 😋, and a wholly different world. More on this night - and the weight of choosing a lived experience over better pacing to follow in a future post. Condiments not included.

After years of being spoiled by streaming and a nice-sized screen at home, we haven’t seen a ton of movies in the theater. But makes the second in two weeks ( last week), and the second I thought to ask for a closed captioning unit. Both had a long bendy arm and fit in the cup holder. A little awkward at first, but it definitely made things better. The bigger chain (understandably) had more advanced tech; they both had a couple glitches. Either way, all I had to do was ask. It opened my own awareness into accessibility. Hope this helps you, too. and

Sundays can be a real…pill. But really. Every two Sundays I fill my daily AM/PM boxes for the next two weeks. And it’s amazing how quickly they fly. “Already?” I usually think, as old contents are combined with the new, consolidated, labels blacked out, jars recycled and refills are ordered. Supplements handled separately. There are many.

Just had a wonderful peer visit - someone upbeat and career-motivated, just like me: “Seeing you and hearing your experience gives me hope.” 🥹
