Often a miracle is defined by things that we don’t expect to happen– It’s the unexpected present that we must deal with
Yuri’s Near-Death Experience became a sojourn of the subconscious, a Captain Fantastic journey, during the fight of his life for his life without knowing it was hanging by a thread. It’s like standing on the edge and coming back from the precipice with Yuri Notes.

Nor’Easter 2010 and Kinderhook Revival
The recent Nor’Easter reminded us of the Nor’Easter 2010, rocking New Jersey back then. The storm rocked New Jersey into a state of emergency. Most people hunkered down at home that weekend. Not the 400 fans who came out to see another historic event, the Kinderhook reunion show at UCCNJ in Whippany.

World Cup and Jersey’s Own Music Dynasty
A week of watching the World Cup brought us to the table to write Christmas cards, a tradition I don’t think I will ever give up. The first snowfall continues into this late afternoon, and the gray light seems softer as we get closer to the winter solstice's shortest day of the year.
Telling Our Story
We find a purpose in life, not just a lifestyle to live by, taking on life’s challenges with words, music, time stamps and postcards.
