Allow me to take a detour from my usual ramblings about wine to talk about something that has the potential to change our world. It's about an exhibit currently on display at the Main Jacksonville Public Library.

Are there any secrets in your family? There used to be plenty in the life of Sala Garncarz Kirshner.

It was in 1991 when Sala was told she had to have heart bypass surgery that she decided to come clean with her daughter, Ann Kirshner.

The following article was written less than one year after my mom died. Now, six years later, I still find myself gravitating toward mom. This time, I spent time with my high school / college friends and their kids in Tampa.  Alba and Kristen will always be my best friends. And Jaymie. They were in my wedding, I was in theirs. There is something surreal about having friends for 25 years. First of all you realize they have often known you longer than your spouse. Which at times is quite beneficial. Especially when life-changing decisions must be made. And that is what happens on a daily basis. You see, you get to a point in your life when you realize your best friends will fit on the sofa in your living room. It's really that simple. And it really was a great Spring Break.
