Kvetch In The City - November 2023
My eyes burn…
My heart aches…
I have no words…
Only sorrow.

Kvetch in the City-October 2023
Let’s just say, I’m burning sage.
Let’s just say it would be appropriate to call the dating App Hinge “Unhinged”
Let’s just say, the app is no longer on my phone.
Let’s just say, I’ve come to the realization that dating someone for one and a half months at this age is th…
Kvetch in the City - September 2023
As I calmly wade through my daily emails with subject titles such as: “How To Teach Your Employees To Confidently Survive an Active Shooter Without Having To Incite Fear,” and watch the nightly news to see Maui burning to the ground, I think maybe I should go for a walk at Percy Warner a…
Kvetch in the City - August 2023
Recently, I’ve been thinking about surviving. Surviving what, you may ask. I’ll get to that in a bit.
First off, let me say, I’ve always prided myself as being thought of as a survivor. So, for this column’s sake, as I was writing, I googled the psychological definition of…
Kvetch in the City- July 2023
Well, it’s fitting that it’s July, and the start of July celebrates Independence Day. Because yes, here I am, very much, once again, independent, and by that I mean the relationship computer did not reboot, and I am once again fully reinstated in my single life.
I follow all these…
Kvetch in the City June 2023
About two weeks ago friends of mine invited me to their home to meet a local political candidate running for office. It was a low key, event, with two dozen or so people of all ages. Before the candidate was to talk, our friend asked each of us present to introduce ourselves and tell a lit…
Kvetch in the City: The Boot
Somehow, everything in my life seems to come down to shoes in some way or another, metaphorically or literally speaking.
Within a few short weeks I went from giving TDH “the boot” as he called it…to both of us entertaining the idea of giving our relationship a reboot.
You can l…
Kvetch in The City April 23
Recently, in my newly found unfolding relationship with TDH (Tall Dark Handsome) I became acutely aware of what romance truly looks like as an over 60.
Since I’ve only been dating him for just about three months it threw me a little off guard when he offered me the keys to his place, …
Kvetch in the City- March 2023
I somehow unwittingly, or perhaps somewhat wittingly, backed myself into a corner. I dared to blurt out, in my last column, for all to see, my nerve induced surprise encounter at a holiday party meeting a tall, dark, handsome guy from Brooklyn, that right off the bat appeared to have the p…
Feb 2023 Kvetch in the City
Even though you didn’t ask for it, I thought I’d give some Kvetch in the City sage advice.
If you’re married, stay married. Even if you can’t stand your spouse, take it from me, please do yourself a favor and stay married. Even if you’ve both gained 30 pounds and don’t talk an…
Kvetch in the City-January 2023
New Year’s Day.
Being one to revel in the festivities of secular holidays, specifically New Year’s Day, I tend to buy into the optimism of new beginnings and the idea of a new start. I mean, who doesn’t like a new start. I pretty much feel that way every morning when I wake up. A ne…
Kvetch in the City- December 2022
“Ohhh, I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me.” Whitney Houston
I love to dance. Back in the day, home alone, I’d crank up the volume and get to it. It’s funny/not funny to me how the things I love to do the most are the things I seem to do the least.
Now that I…
Kvetch In the City - November
Swipe right. That’s right. I’m swiping right. And not on some stranger in the ether.
I’m swiping right on gratitude, giving thanks, and living life to the fullest.
That’s right. You heard right.
Okay…enough with the rights already…you get it.
Since my mid to late fifties, it…
Kvetch In the City October
Remember when you’d return to school, and teachers would have you write a page about your summer vacation? Although a month overdue, I thought it might be cathartic to put my summer vacation in writing. I’m still trying to make sense of it since it turned out to be the kind of vacation i…

My new favorite initials…WJH.
What Just Happened.
I feel like my whole life, and life in general these days can be summarized in those three little words.
Along those lines…stay with me here...I discovered a long time ago, that I am inclined to…
