Tuscany

August 24, 2018August 24, 2018 Jo

We are at the tail end of a family bicycling trip in Tuscany, and it has been a challenging and rewarding trip. Florence was our point of departure, and it was beautiful. We are on another trip for families via Backroads and are having a great time. The Backroads leaders are again great, and we

August 5, 2018August 5, 2018 Jo

My first job out of college ended up being a huge mistake. But, I recovered and took with me some lessons learned. Back in the Roaring 1980s, the hottest investment bank was Wasserstein Perella.

Dawn at Back Lake

June 13, 2018June 14, 2018 Jo

The silence is what you notice first. At dawn, at Back Lake up in NH near Canada, there isn’t much happening but for the episodic call from a loon. The water is flat, mirror-like. I am up for an annual father-daughter fly fishing trip. My daughter is still asleep. I am biding my time, happily,
