Mid-summer Heatwave

You have probably noticed the change in name of my website. This was done to facilitate my being found by searchers, as Google recognizes ‘Diane Oser’, but not my Hebrew name [tag]‘Malcha’[/tag]. Ah well, a rose by any other name… as the saying goes. The heat is getting the better of me, rather enervating I [...]

Sorry I haven’t written anything lately. Life has been extremely hectic, which is sometimes good, and sometimes not. I attempted to translate a web site for someone in Quebec, and unfortunately I failed. Both at accomplishing it at the speed he needed, and also because my bilingualism is not up to snuff. It hurt, and [...]

The Ethics of Aging

14 April, 2008 (01:09) | Family & Friends, Life, Paths | 2 comments

I thought I’d share some thoughts on a subject near and worrisome to me. How many of you have experienced an [tag]aging [/tag]parent or close [tag]family[/tag] member, being rude, or acting thoughtlessly, in their interactions with others, in particular offspring, but not limited to that? I’ve heard statements such as, ‘I’m old so I can [...]

I have just put this [tag]website[/tag] together for my wife Diane ([tag]Malcha[/tag] is an old family nickname for her – in [tag]Yiddish[/tag] it means Queen) and I hope she will use it to explore herself, the world and the [tag]Sound Visions Project[/tag] she has been working on for several years. I’ll leave it for her [...]
