There are millions of stories swirling around us — tales of whoo-hoo! Tales of OMG-you-have-got-to-be-kidding…
All happening. At the same time. In this crazy world. Like feeling dumb-struck grateful for having two opposable thumbs. Or waking up at three o’clock in the morning with another blast of existential angst. The utter joy when a Gen Z cashier with tattoos, piercings and a beautific smile, bags my groceries at Trader Joe’s. That quick jolt of numbing cold when I get another notification on my phone from… well… the bad news bears.

Hi Everybody! When all is said and done, the moments of our lives are wrapped in “relationship” whether that momentary connection is with another person, a thing, a thought, a whatever. Something about the ukulele builds and maintains relationships, communities, even. This extraordinary “coming together” was abundantly and joyfully evident…
Hi Everybody! I’m slipping out of the groovy groove I whirl in, here in SoCal. Love Los Angeles. Hardly ever leave Los Angeles. But at the end of the month my ukulele-playing hubby and I are packing the Honda Fit and heading due north, through the Mojave Desert onto Highway…
Let me explain. In this picture I am the “person” on the right. Pointing at the zillion-dollar Lexus sedan which is just out of camera shot, as they tell me I might win it. Yes, welcome to Fantasyland? Oh and the nice lady on the left, in gray, completely in…
