Becoming parents to parents

It’s happening.  I’m becoming a parent for the first time. My first “child” will be my mother. For me, this is an odd place to begin being a parent. I have no experience being a parent and it’s a bit scary. My relationship with my mother is typical. Like others, I went through those awkward [...]

Do I hear music?

Are you a singer? I’m a singer. If there’s a song playing that I know, I can’t seem to keep myself from singing – out loud – no matter where I am. Fortunately I do have a rather pleasant singing voice, not professional, but pleasant. Some people can work with music in the background. Unless [...]
