MEETING A PRESIDENT

Back in 1993, a lifetime ago, our world was different. We were different. Whatever future we had in mind, I think we didn't imagine the one in which we find ourselves. Us with President Clinton on Martha's Vineyard. It had been a hard year. Licking our collective and individual wounds, Garry and I wobbled tentatively … Continue reading MEETING A PRESIDENT

PARTYING WITH THE CLINTON FAMILY

Back in 1993, a lifetime ago when our world was different, we were different. Whatever future we had in mind, I think we didn't imagine the one in which we find ourselves. It had been a hard year. Licking our collective and individual wounds, Garry and I wobbled tentatively into summer. Our first long vacation … Continue reading PARTYING WITH THE CLINTON FAMILY

WHERE IS PONCE DE LEON WHEN I NEED HIM? – GARRY ARMSTRONG

Carly Simon is in my head a lot these days singing, "You're So Vain". After decades of seeming perpetual youth in my career as a reporter, the portrait in my attic has become an illusion. It's something with which most people who work in the public eye must come to grips as time goes by. First my … Continue reading WHERE IS PONCE DE LEON WHEN I NEED HIM? – GARRY ARMSTRONG

BARGAIN HUNTING – THE SPORT

A FLASHBACK FROM LATE MAY 2015. STILL TRUE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS -- WITH APPROPRIATE EDITING I have acquired a lot of sweaters over the years. This is New England. Winters are long. Heat is expensive. Sweaters fill the gap. This morning I realized how many of my shirts and sweaters are purple or some purply hue. My … Continue reading BARGAIN HUNTING – THE SPORT

THE ART & SPORT OF BARGAIN HUNTING

I have acquired a lot of sweaters over the years. This is New England. Winters are long. Heat is expensive. Sweaters fill the gap. This morning I noticed more than half my sweaters are purple. I've got a few in black, a couple in red, but purple dominates. The sweaters used to be all black. I'm from New York where women wear black. It's … Continue reading THE ART & SPORT OF BARGAIN HUNTING

VINEYARD MEMORIES – Marilyn Armstrong

The song is full of memories of Martha's Vineyard where we spent so many happy weeks in summers past. Lobster traps. Wrestling with Carly for possession of a clearance sale silk blouse in a favorite shop in Oak Bluffs. And, the parties we attended while President Clinton and family were down on the Vineyard. At … Continue reading VINEYARD MEMORIES – Marilyn Armstrong

ANTICIPATION – CARLY SIMON AND MENEMSHA HARBOR

ANTICIPATION | THE DAILY POST The most fun thing about this little video, other than the song itself (of course), were the memories it brought back. Of Menemsha (in the background) on Martha's Vineyard. Where we spent so many happy weeks in summers past. Lobster traps. Wrestling with Carly for possession of a clearance sale … Continue reading ANTICIPATION – CARLY SIMON AND MENEMSHA HARBOR

Purple Sweaters, Orange Dresses

I have acquired a goodly number of sweaters over the years. This is New England. Winters are long. Heating oil is expensive. Sweaters fill the gap. This morning I noticed most of my sweaters are purple. I've got a few in black, a couple in red. But over all, purple dominates. The sweater collection used to be … Continue reading Purple Sweaters, Orange Dresses
