Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr – Garry Armstrong

Editor's note: Since it is Throwback Thursday, we thought we should add one from Garry. Marilyn and I are sitting in the living room, wrapped in our blankets, coping with resurgent cold New England weather. We're watching Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison. It's a charming star turn for Deborah Kerr, Robert Mitchum and director John Huston. … Continue reading Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr – Garry Armstrong

2 years without you

It’s been 2 years since my mom passed. Two whole years. Mom was my best friend, rock, biggest supporter, and fan. The person I could tell everything to, who I could go to for advice even if it wasn’t wanted or the best. She would have turned 67 in March of this year. A rare … Continue reading 2 years without you

THROWBACK THURSDAY

Keeping Old Memories Alive, Rich Paschall Let's face it, there are a lot of annoying things about social media. Even worse than the fake news and memes being spread, making us dumber by the day, is the proliferation of new games, rituals, groups, pages, chats, insta-things, broadcast thyself and say nothing. YouTube channels (I have … Continue reading THROWBACK THURSDAY

My how you’ve grown …

The seminal bonding event between my husband and my granddaughter took place on a sunny afternoon on Martha's Vineyard. Garry and I were renting an adorable little house in Oak Bluffs. It had its own beach on Nantucket Sound, on the inland side of Beach Road. For those of you who know the area, it … Continue reading My how you’ve grown …

SORRY. IT WENT MISSING

TODAY'S UPDATE! (Reblog) Editor's note: The following was first posted in March of 2022. Considering various voter laws and the drive to pass the SAVE America Act (i.e., to save the Republican majority), the comments are still relevant. I canceled today's appointment because I can't prove I'm me. If I were a MAN who had … Continue reading SORRY. IT WENT MISSING

MY FATHER AND FREUD, THE MAN – ELLIN CURLEY

All quotes are from my father’s book, “My Analysis With Freud, Reminiscences”  - A. Kardiner, M.D. In 1921 my father went to Vienna to be trained by Sigmund Freud in the new scientific field of psychoanalysis. My previous blog talked about some of my father’s experiences with Freud as a teacher and as a world-renowned scientist. … Continue reading MY FATHER AND FREUD, THE MAN – ELLIN CURLEY

FROM THE HALL OF RECORDS

Once upon a time, many years ago, I dreamed of a locked room called "The Hall of Records." I was never able to enter that room. The other morning, I woke up to find a box next to my bed. Attached to it was a note: “Open me, if you dare.” Somehow, I knew it … Continue reading FROM THE HALL OF RECORDS

WRITING A LIST, CHECKING IT TWICE?

Blogging platform # 16- Listicles ( list articles), yes or no? I think I was rather naughty, but sometimes very nice. I hope someone at least checked the list. I write lists for groceries. This is not a blogging issue. It's a "remembering all those little things" issue. I used to think I could remember everything, … Continue reading WRITING A LIST, CHECKING IT TWICE?

LOST MEMORIES WEIRDLY WRONG

When I talk to other people I knew in school or at work -- there are so few remaining -- they tell me what great friends we were and how much we enjoyed being together. Except that's nothing like what I remember. How come what I remember bears no resemblance to the memories of the people … Continue reading LOST MEMORIES WEIRDLY WRONG
