Hopeful! “You have been hit by lightning; but you will be okay.” ~ The Neurologist ~ Those have become my most oft quoted words, of late.  I have not been enjoying the freedom, which I thought the vaccine would bring.  Instead, I had an ear infection in March, which turned into the most challenging time…

But many of my most beloved plants have aphides.  I have tried various products, cleaning each infected leaf, and finally…

Umbrella Sky Coral Gables, Florida Yes, this particular installation is long gone; and all I have to offer you are a few photographs.  I should have shared this when it was still up, but the good news is that it is an ongoing / traveling exhibit, which continues to pop up around the world; and…

To love a painting is to feel that this presence is… not an object but a voice. ~ Andre Malraux ~    Tiberias by Nicola Kovach, (Covach) I long to stroll these shores; even more so now that I know where they are, it is not a stop I made during my long ago visit…

Securing the Internet of Things – IoT A popular question for cybersecurity professionals is what keeps us up at night?  In the past, I often have found this to be a scare tactic, but lately I have been very concerned about securing IoT.  Why?  As we retrieve real time data and count on this data…
