Conference Attendee Tips — Illustrated Journaling, Golden Age mysteries, Boat Shows and More

By Naomi Bloom on June 15, 2018

Naomi & Cousin Ronni Circa 1950 Yes, I’m retired, but that doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped learning — or attending conferences.  Whether it’s the annual Florida Watercolor Society convention, and Urban Sketchers event, Emily’s List conference, or the Agatha Christie International Festival, much of what I learned about making the most of my time at the […]

Life Explained: A 3-Legged Stool

Life Explained: A 3-Legged Stool

By Naomi Bloom on June 1, 2018

I’ve never understood people who take full credit for their accomplishments, as though getting top grades, running the fastest mile, being the most productive developer on the team, exceeding sales targets or alphabetizing by author and within genre your thousands of physical, wonderful to hold, books was a solo performance.  And I’ll admit to cringing when […]

A Layman’s Thoughts On American Healthcare

A Layman’s Thoughts On American Healthcare

By Naomi Bloom on April 17, 2017

At the end of 2009, as the ACA was being born, while I was recovering from a fully insured (but dreadfully painful post-op) rotator cuff surgery, I shared my two cents worth on the coming of the ACA.  With the healthcare debate now front and central in the GOP-controlled Congress, which is committed to repealing the […]

Death By Lousy HRM — Finale

By Naomi Bloom on January 6, 2017

[Here’s the entire series in case you missed previous chapters] And there it was!  DCI Fritz saw the way forward.  Without forensic evidence to prove him the murderer or even an eyewitness who could place Wrigley at the murder scene at the right time, Fritz had no real basis for charging Wrigley.  But what he […]

Death By Lousy HRM — Chapter XVIII

By Naomi Bloom on January 5, 2017

[Here’s the entire series in case you missed previous chapters] There was silence as each of them absorbed the implications of what had just been said against the known backdrop of the case.  The murder took place in a closed facility with tight security which tended to rule out a wandering homicidal maniac.  There were […]
