Our family had a magical morning at the (farmer’s) market. Outside. In January. How’s that for a HUGE Silver Lining (SL)? It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been (I’ve been a tad busy). I was sublimely delighted to see the winter rainbow of colors. I’ve always loved going to the Farmer’s Market. When I… Continue reading Morning Market Magic

Mouth Mishegoss
Next up: Mucositis, a/k/a Mouth F-bomb Sores. I’m not kidding. I wish I were, but I’m not. Three months ago, even if I had tried really, really hard, I couldn’t have made up all of this S**T (pun intended and unintended).

Globe-Trotting FBC
This time yesterday, I was running (actually more like crawling) around the neighborhoods of Los Angeles looking for bathrooms, lavatories, powder rooms, restrooms, toilets, salle de bains, washrooms, and water closets.

So much, coming from so many directions is really, really tough to manage, both mentally and emotionally. Medicine often equal… Continue reading Silver Lining Booby Report
Brookside Holidays
At Brookside, we celebrate ALL holidays. Holidays are joyous ways to bring tradition, spirituality, family, friends, food, and fun together.

First up… Continue reading Brookside Holidays
Brookside Dreams of Bergdorf Goodman
Is there anything better than Bergdorf Goodman, in general, but especially their Holiday Windows? Well, yes, I’m sure that I could come up with plenty of far more altruistic and philanthropic things that are “better” than the Holiday Windows at BG. Perhaps “magical” is a better word. To me, there is absolutely nothing more magical… Continue reading Brookside Dreams of Bergdorf Goodman
