WWJCS?
In the category of what would Joseph Campbell say, to wit: God is a metaphor for that which trancends all levels of intellectual thought. It’s as simple as that. Rosh Hashanna starts tomorrow night and begins the year 5772; I engaged in a conversation on Linked In (TED) about Israel that was provoked by the recent article Thomas Friedman wrote in Sunday’s NYT and I’ve thought a lot about this new year coming, about God’s…

Re-Identify
Identity seems to be on a lot of people’s minds these days – tell me who are you? and then who am I? I know that has been my critical path the past 18 months – who am I? who do I want to be? And then began the full make over – cut the hair, give up the past vision, expand the new, stretch the boundaries – there are a lot of growing pains…

The persistent cough
Well the germ bus from Tin’s school packed a wollup of a virus – lost my voice for three days, hoarse voice for two days, and now just head cold extraordinaire – MAKE IT STOP! Nevertheless, Tin and I headed to the Quarter for a little sunshine and movement as there has been little around here for the past five or so days. We parked on Esplanade and walked up the shady side of Royal…

Pools were made for kids!
Our time in Spain on the beach is priceless because it’s so easy to have a toddler and be on the beach. We went to a neighbor kid’s birthday party at her grandmother’s pool today and Tin got on the big slide and slid right into the pool – all it took was for him to do it once and then it was party till you puke – literally he swallowed so much water one…

Our little love slav child
Tin was Skyping with Tete yesterday and he pulled out his Trumpet and played then sang When the Saints Go Marching In, then he sang It’s a Wonderful World. This morning, he recited all of his Croatian nursery rhymes perfectly.

Jazz Boy
We bought Tin a photography book of New Orleans Jazz greats because he loves looking at photographs of people playing instruments. He loves to name all the instruments. He sits on the couch and reads this book as if it were the holy word. Houston, I think we have a musician on our hands. A friend of ours came by to fix the toilet handle in Tin’s bathroom, she also teaches Tin how to drum.…

It’s in the air
I was speaking with my neighbor who told me they just lost $80,000 in business as three clients stopped their projects – why? The economy, stupid. She said she went to the bank to figure out what to do and someone had told her to get a line of credit. She said all small business are getting lines of credit to keep them afloat. Just what America needs – more credit.

Let me introduce myself
I am now managing multiple personalities and I’m not the only one. Remember when you were one face to your family, one to your friends, one to your employers? And a lot of people were very concerned when those worlds met and overlapped. I won’t use the now ubiquitous term REAL but I will say that having never had very firm boundaries between these worlds has enabled me to move into this new world we…
