September segue
All those years of living in New England have fixed my internal calendar to interpret September in only one way: the romance of fall. I was born in the spring, but I’m a fall baby at heart. It’s the time of year I feel the best; a time of optimism and fresh starts. A time […]
If you want to hear MC’s opinion

Happy Anniversary — MC Reality Online hits one year mark!
Last week on August 25th, this online column cum blog reached its one-year anniversary! I was so crazy-busy last week that I missed the actual anniversary … but I’m celebrating it on Friday night (September 4) under the light of the full Harvest Moon (sounds appropriate, doesn’t it — celebrating at harvest time?).

Sarasota News & Books closing … vita sine libris mors est*
*Life without books is death. I don’t pretend to know the business side of running a bookstore/café like Sarasota News & Books, but I do claim to know the emotional side of being one of its patrons. When I moved back to Sarasota five years ago after living in Boston for years, Sarasota News & […]

Buh-bye all those great little shops I swing in and out of on my way back and forth from client meetings and gal-pal hang-outs, and other varied and assorted downtown rendezvous. Just color me too cheap to pay for parking. But you can also […]
