Taking Centre Stage
Growing up, I always loved music. I used to sing, hairbrush in hand, in front of the mirror to all my favourite songs. I used to pretend I was a rock star. I'd play air guitar or tap my pen on my desk as if I were playing the drums. And each time, I heard the same thing, "stop that awful racket!" And I'm sure the racket was awful. The tapping was probably bad enough, but my singing, yikes! Let's just call it like it is - I couldn't carry a tune if you gave me a basket to put it in. But that never stopped me.

Coming Face to Face With Me
I'm no stranger to a good time. I'm no stranger to a nice glass of Pino Gris or a cocktail. Hell, I was a lawyer, drinking was practically an occupational requirement. So when my son got old enough, it didn't surprise me that he liked to party. What did surprise me is that he's an alcoholic. What surprised me, even more, is so am I.

Psst, You, Yes, You
My mother had a lot of quirks, but she was also an unlikely repository of excellent advice served up as snappy bits of home-spun wisdom. One of her best tidbits was if something feels off, it’s because it’s off. That was her way of saying that when the voices in your head start talking, you better start listening.
