FROM THE DEEP END

From the Deep End: Our own bubbles of oblivion

September 10, 2024 by Brenda Kelley Kim

"A simple act of paying attention can take you a long way." — Keanu Reeves The other day, I was running my regular weekend errands and thought I'd hit up the farmers’ market since I was headed for the Magic Hat Thrift Store anyway, so why not? As I pulled into the parking area, there was a spot. I headed for it and risked losing my Masshole card by putting on my "blinkah" to … [Read more...] about From the Deep End: Our own bubbles of oblivion

From The Deep End: Are we what we watch?

From the Deep End: Going overboard

August 13, 2024 by Brenda Kelley Kim

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." — Jimmy Dean Of course, I cannot change the direction of the wind, but as I found out this week, I can't adjust the sails either — at least not the ones on the sailboat I was on a few days ago. I took part in a regatta, and by "took part" I mean I made a donation that … [Read more...] about From the Deep End: Going overboard
