About Me
- Alice Garbarini Hurley
- Montclair, New Jersey
- I'm Alice and I've been writing for most of my life--first, in a little green five-year diary my friend Lorraine gave me for Christmas in 6th grade, then for newspapers, magazines, websites and companies. I've blogged here, often daily, since Feb. 2010, trying hard to write truthfully even when it's scary. My husband and I are now freelance writers, so sometimes still we can afford salmon for dinner and sometimes we can't. Our daughter (blog name Figgy) is an artist and scientist in cyanobacteria algae research. The teen we are raising as legal guardians but have loved as our own (code name Punch/Skippy/Spice/Spike) is in high school. Our days range from sunny to sad, successful, sweet or funny. Reach me at alicehurley@aol.com.
Positivity during a pandemic - you are something else, Alice. Like your hacks, esp the remote support which has been huge for me too, and will stay helpful long after this has passed. And I loved learning of Sniffapaloosa, how fun!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the phone, know you are not alone.

Hi Liz. Yes, Sniffapalooza! My sister and I have gone in person, on and off, for years! It draws fragrance fans from across the country. It's cool. These virtual events cannot compare to our full days in NYC but they are enjoyable (and cost about $15 to register, then you usually get a promo or shopping code to order the fragrance). Sending love. Alice
DeleteJust read it and like it alot. I agree that there are definitely silver linings, but do I miss going out to restaurants! (We opted to continue with takeout rather than outdoor seating.) Anyway, take care. Love,Lin
ReplyDeleteYes, Lin, silver linings but also big losses for small businesses and restaurant lovers. Dan and I ate outside Saturday nite at a restaurant (we haven't been out to eat much) with heat lamps etc. It was a luxury. But when Annie passes a bar or restaurant with people eating inside, she gets really upset. Love xo
