It’s All Maya!

If Life is an illusion, then why do I keep banging my head against the wall?

Si la Vie est une illusion, pourquoi je n'arrête pas de me taper la tête sur les murs?

“By The Time I Get To Phoenix….”

February 5th, 2010 · By Lynn

Probably a lot of young people have never even heard of the song, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, but for any Baby Boomer, this was a big Glen Campbell hit back in the 60s!  Well, we got to Phoenix (ten of us!) and after the snow in New York and Pittsburgh, a balmy, […]

Writer’s Block

September 5th, 2009 · By Lynn

I don’t know how many times I’ve sat down in front of my computer lately ready to write something and can’t think of anything I really want to say.  I’ve started several blog posts with just one or two sentences and then just sat there looking at an almost blank screen with no incentive to […]

La Fête Nationale Française

July 14th, 2009 · By Lynn

Maya Muses:  Most people think of firewords for le 14 juillet, but for years my ex would drag me out of bed to go see the fighter planes and the helicopters flying over Paris.   At times we would arrive just a little too late; afterall when you’re up dancing until the wee hours of the morning […]

Where Is She?

June 29th, 2009 · By Lynn

My Michael Jackson Story

June 27th, 2009 · By Lynn

Ever since Michael Jackson passed away on Thursday, people have been telling their stories about the time they met the controversial Pop Star, so I decided to add mine here as well. 
This was back in the early ’90s and I decided to go to WH Smith on the rue de Rivoli to buy a children’s […]

I’m Back From The Keys!

June 13th, 2009 · By Lynn

Not that many people may have known that I was gone, afterall, people still come to read the same old posts that remain the most popular or most controversial on my blog.  Everyday hundreds come to read what I wrote about Miley Cyrus, Charlotte Gainsbourg and her father Serge, or they dispute the lyrics to […]

Walking On The Beach Or Cleaning Out My Walk-in Closet

April 27th, 2009 · By Lynn

You would think if I had a choice between walking on the beach or cleaning out my closet, I would pick the first and leave the second for later.  Well that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for the past couple of years, so this weekend I decided to finally tackle my closet! 
Where did all these […]

Where Are The Children? - Gone

April 3rd, 2009 · By Lynn

Gone are the days when children could walk to and from school by themselves.  Gone are the days when children could play with their friends until dark and then head home.  Gone are the days when kids went out trick-or-treating with their friends and no one had to check their candy before they ate it.
I […]

A Favorite Quote - A Passage From Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World

Maya Muses: I was on the phone with a friend from Paris who asked me when we were planning on going back, (Patrick and I go back and forth every year to Paris) and I told her this year I didn’t know.  “I have several doctor appointments scheduled,” I said…..and then we got to talking […]

Irène Némirovsky’s Suite Française

February 25th, 2009 · By Lynn

When I first arrived in Paris back in 1971 one of the things that surprised me most was how the French continuously spoke about WWII as though it had happened yesterday. Gee, I would say to myself, it happened 25-30 years ago, let it rest! I was nineteen at the time.
Being part of the “Baby […]
