Today is the 16th anniversary of my marriage to Steve Orlandella. We booked a weekend at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Everything about that weekend was fun. But I am not prepared to write about that today. He died from heart failure on August 31, 2016, after having been treated in the hospital forContinue reading “WORKING TITLE – MUSINGS IN PARIS”

ON VACATION IN PARIS, AUGUST 2021!
HELLO, AUGUST,2021!! I thought you would never get here. Frankly, I love September. But August is full of surprises for me. I “remember” 2 wedding anniversaries, 5 birthdays of important people in my FORMER life, and one VIP death. So, I am up and then I am down. Let’s share and walk down memory lane,Continue reading “ON VACATION IN PARIS, AUGUST 2021!”
SOME THOUGHTS FOR AUGUST 2021
Those of you who know me or have followed me on Jayspeak know that I have lived a life of relative abundance. And “things” mattered, and I had a lot of “stuff”. I had saved everything in case I MIGHT NEED IT OR WANT IT SOMEDAY. I made sure that I provided for my childrenContinue reading “SOME THOUGHTS FOR AUGUST 2021”
PARIS UPDATE
This has been a wonderful week of catchup for me with lots of ups and downs. No comment. And now I am asking you to sit in the dark with me in case we are either one having difficulty seeing the bright side. Something or other triggers that recurring doom-and-gloom and then I have toContinue reading “PARIS UPDATE”
SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS AND NO MEMES FOR THE END OF JUNE 2021
WHAT IS ON MY MIND? Paris and Moi. Yes, Paris is opening up and it is fun with all of the activities, and I plan to do what I want to and can. I have a lot of energy and desire and like the organizations of AAWE and WICE. They have activities that look funContinue reading “SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS AND NO MEMES FOR THE END OF JUNE 2021”
JUST FOR FUN – NO COMMENT COMMENTARY
Today is June 20, 2021, Father’s Day, the longest day of the year, and the beginning of Cancer (my rising sign), so I am a happy camper. First of all, a SHOUT OUT to my two sons, Craig and Blake, for being good fathers in spite of their lack of training or a good exampleContinue reading “JUST FOR FUN – NO COMMENT COMMENTARY”
STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….
I am starting over. Today is August 2, 2020, and it is a new day for me. Why? OK, here goes…. Some of this is repetitive to those who “follow” Jayspeak. But, a lot of it is not. That said, during July, I had a bunch of tests plus an MRI to find out whyContinue reading “STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….”
JOHN LEWIS, DAN RATHER, AND JESSE JEWELL CHICKENS Ramblings…..
As you know (if you have been keeping up with the news), our democracy is under attack. And many of us are weary and afraid of what’s to come. I am. Irrational anger. Vicious hate. Meanness. Greed. Someone said that we can still be friends, even if we don’t agree. Uh, no. And, no oneContinue reading “JOHN LEWIS, DAN RATHER, AND JESSE JEWELL CHICKENS Ramblings…..”
P.S. (a post script, e.g. #life at work)
After my post “PONDERINGS ABOUT TRUTH”, I now know that most people are aware that a lot of people conceal and lie to “save face” or on a “need to know” basis only. And, it is never wise to name names in a post or in a book. It only causes more problems with peopleContinue reading “P.S. (a post script, e.g. #life at work)”
JUNE 2020 BEGINS…….Jay speaks, Fresh Air, Flowers, PARIS………(sigh)

I got a good knee doctor who is going to help me, and he has started the left knee shots that are already helping me walk better. I bought a red dress!!!!!!
