Attitude
How would you improve your community? We need to return to the idea of community rather than the isolationist idea of other. Not me.

It takesContinueContinue reading “Attitude”

‘Friends’
What makes you laugh? I enjoy a good comedy, but my go to show for sheer brilliance is Friends. At one time my husband refused to watch it, but when Matthew Perry sadly died I decided to cheer myself up by doing another run through of Friends.

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up? I had no idea.
