All in the Family: Could CBS be the Solution to America’s Problems?

Posted on 05/15/2018 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

UPDATE (July 2018): The Waltons is now available on Prime! I just watched the first three episodes and they hold up remarkably well. Go figure! Where were you the evening of February 28, 1983? Chances are if you were alive and owned a television, you were watching the final episode of M*A*S*H along with 106 … Continue reading →

Of Boundaries and Breakthroughs

Posted on 02/06/2018 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

Did you hear the one about “building a wall”? No, not that wall. I mean the idea that one’s very own success comes with a lot of self-constructed boundaries. Yeah, I’ve never been very good at that. Setting my own boundaries. I could go down the laundry list of all the things that have been … Continue reading →

Ready to Envision 2018!

Posted on 01/14/2018 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

My new year is off to a bumpy start. First off, I have a nasty cold (working outdoors in sub-zero windchill can do that, apparently). I had a whole bunch of plans to greet 2018 just right… and, well, they didn’t happen. But it’s only two weeks in and I feel like I’m getting back … Continue reading →

It has been nearly a year since I last posted to this blog, and I would like to think I’ve just been too busy. That isn’t a lie. Since changing jobs earlier this year (in itself, a major stressor… the job I held for more than six years is now but a line item on … Continue reading →

The Opposite of Sad Isn’t Happy, the Opposite of Hate Isn’t Love

Posted on 11/13/2016 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

I have spent the better part of this week, biting my tongue in an effort not to gloat. I wouldn’t be gloating about my candidate winning the U.S. Presidential election (he didn’t; my candidate lost in the primary to Hillary Clinton, who did get my vote on Tuesday, reluctantly given). No, my braggadocio was of … Continue reading →

No, raising a 13-year-old boy isn’t easier

No, raising a 13-year-old boy isn’t easier

Posted on 05/22/2016 by Astrid Cook • Leave a comment

Once upon a time, somebody must have told me that boys are easier to raise in their teen years than girls. Fairy tail inaugurations aside, I don’t believe I made this up. In fact, I think it was in reference to how horrible boy toddlers are; my relief—this vague and mysterious advisor claimed—would come in … Continue reading →
