So here goes: Donna Summer (Image Source) Check out Hit Parade’s Chris Molanphy on the fasinating history of disco diva Donna Summer: Donna Summer was…

Flashback Friday: The Summer of Love.
(Image Source) The Summer of 1967 was something. Newark had riots. So did Detroit (there’s currently a major motion picture about part of that out in theatres right now). Yet… away from the heat and burning in the Northeast and Midwest, out in San Francisco, things were much cooler… things were groovy. From The Week:…

What to expect when you’re expecting…
September 2016, and I have (some) hair. … to get better, but haven’t. Yet. It’s been four months since I had the Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) at Northwestern in Chicago, IL, under the care of Dr. Richard Burt.

I don’t like Thanksgiving.
Not Thanksgiving, probably Easter 1985, from left to right: (a grumpy me), Bever-leigh, Stevie, Mom holding a carrier with a kicking-baby Jos, and a very goofy Joe. At least not like I did as a kid. Every year, until I was 12, my family tradition was Thanksgiving at my godbrother Stevie and…
