ON Wednesday, January 13, 2021, a man “installed himself” on the train tracks outside of Antibes, FRANCE, and stopped all trains for four hours.  For some reason, I thought this was funny!  I actually laughed out loud and thought he should try a less painful way to commit suicide and then it dawned on meContinue reading “RAMBLINGS ON A RAINY DAY IN PARIS – MID-JANUARY 2021”

I’m getting tired of being part of another beginning PLUS another major historical event. Another silver lining. Another “pony in a pile of shit”. I am shocked, scared for my family and friends, disgusted, too old to fight the fight it is going to require from my attorney colleagues and friends and family. And IContinue reading “BEGINNING AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!…..”

It has been quite a year! In February 2020, I moved to a small Studio apartment in the Latin Quarter of Paris after living for four years in Nice, France.  I moved with some of my stuff after getting rid of most of it in the fall of 2019 and January 2020, most of whichContinue reading “WHAT A YEAR THIS WAS!!!!”

This is what is on my mind.  I have been afraid to write this or tell this my entire life. But, I have been feeling overwhelmed.  I have set small daily goals and aimed for consistency rather than perfection. And I need to get a lot of negative thoughts out of my head.  What amContinue reading “BOOKENDS”

Actually, I am not having a good day. I probably should not try to write today, but here goes anyway. So many things are swimming around in my head that I need to slow down.  And my head plays tricks on me, I am sorry to say. Sometimes it is clear as a bell. Others,Continue reading “DECEMBER RAMBLINGS PLUS…..”

Turkey With a French Dressing: The Gentle Art (Buchwald) of Humor Novembre 16th, 2018 par Anthony Bulger#Paris, #Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is the one day in the year which, as O. Henry reminds us, is purely American. It’s also the only day when overeating is considered a patriotic duty. And when, according to another keen observer, we surpassContinue reading “A THANKSGIVING TREAT!”
