  • My Two Minutes on Radio: Writing for Sound

    March 21, 2009

    • There’s nothing like reading on radio to make you focus on how your writing sounds. I spent some time at the KQED studios Tuesday afternoon, recording an essay for the San Francisco Bay Area NPR affiliate’s “Perspectives” series, and two minutes yesterday morning listening to “Morning Edition” to hear the result. It’s funny, the things that look good in print but work less well in ...

  • The "Importance" of Being Rush

    January 26, 2009

    • Rush Limbaugh believes that he has become a target of Barack Obama’s, since this allows the Democratic Party to scapegoat him. His comments came after President Obama told Republican leaders “You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.”   Rather than downplay his significance related to policymaking Mr. Limbaugh apparently believes that he is of vital import to the ...
  • My passion is communication

    January 15, 2009

    • From a child of 4, my mother had me onstage performing for hundreds of people with Bernice Johnson Dance Studio in Jamaica, NY. Throughout grade and high school, I performed with the choir, glee club and drama club, singing everything from Gregorian Chant to all the songs from "Pygmalion", in which I played Lisa Doolittle, the protagonist.

  • Rush Leading Them Wrong...Again!

    December 28, 2008

    •   We shall overcome the anger and hatred.  We shall overcome the ignorant, and bellicose.I thought that there was a modicum of decency with regard to how to behave when the check is due.  Apparently, a portion of our population prefers to act like the scarred rabbits that they are!  Rush Limbaugh has decided that he needed to add his own match to the dry tinder of twigs that sit under the ...
  • The miracle of radio waves, automobiles, cyberspace, words and the human heart . . . among other things

    December 23, 2008

    •  Follow this thread, if you can.   Yesterday, the shortest day of the year, or the darkest, if you prefer, I had the pleasure of visiting a friend’s house to briefly help celebrate his birthday, which coincidentally, this year, fell on the first day of Hanukah—a double celebration.   As it happened, my son, Leslie, was there working to install a magnificent marble fireplace—a ...

    December 17, 2008

    • This morning, long before the sun rise, I travelled to the BBC studios in Southampton for the Radio Solent Christmas Breakfast Party to celebrate BBC Radio Solent's 100 Lives Project. BBC Radio Solent's 100 Lives project offers a snapshot of life in the 21st century by following the lives of 100 people over the year. I was chosen as one of the 100 Lives because I live in the Solent area and my ...
