An All Faiths update
All Faiths let me know that they won’t have the final tallies on donations until possibly just before New Year’s. Sorry! I’m going to wait until then to do the drawing and finalize that column. It’s a good thing, though, because they said they’re so busy, they just haven’t caught up with all the donations […]
Troll-house memories
Here’s wishing you all a fantastic Christmas — or whatever holiday you celebrate — or even just a fabulous end to a memorable year. I hope you not only remember the good times of the past, but make new memories to remember in the future! ———————– When I was little, I wanted a troll for […]
A junkie by any other name
Hi. My name is MC, and I’m an addict.
All Faiths update
Hey, anyone who might be looking for news about the results of the MC Reality Reader/All Faiths Food Bank fundraising drive — sorry! All Faiths didn’t have a chance to get the numbers to me yesterday, so unfortunately, I can’t give you an update. I’m going to hold off on the drawing until I get […]
A bag lady’s legacy
A little over a year ago I wrote a column about trying to make the transition from plastic bags to cloth bags only (see below). I’m glad to say that it’s been months and months since I’ve forgotten my cloth bags when grocery shopping. I consider this change a present to Mother Earth and encourage […]
Salvaging the season … with a little karmic reinvention
Behind in your holiday shopping? I’m not big on consumerism, but if I had to recommend you shop at one place in Sarasota, I guess it would have to be my favorite haunt – Sarasota Architectural Salvage, located at 1093 Central Avenue. Owned by local Sarasotan, Jesse White, SAS isn’t so much a salvage yard […]
Sexy at any age
My walk on the beach night before last reminded me of all that I love about Sarasota … Sarasota is a little like a woman on the other side of thirty-eight: still gorgeous enough to beguile on looks alone; but with an alluring maturity that captivates all who see her. We all know Sarasota’s got […]
New Year’s … past and present
Last night, I walked along Siesta Beach — something I rarely take the time to do. I meandered … mosied … along the water’s edge. Nudged seashells, watched some kind of dive-bombing kind of bird — not a pelican … had the tail of a swallow, I thought. Stood in sun salutation with a ragtag […]

Bush immortalizes his legacy in two simple words: So What?
Somebody else is talking about G.W.’s legacy – and if you missed it on World News last night, you’ve got to read this transcript of Martha Raddatz’s interview with him. His admission to Raddatz that al Qaeda wasn’t in Iraq until after the U.S. invaded that country kept me up last night with a sick-to-my-stomach […]
