I did not participate in the Olympics this year; however….

by Colette Freedman | Aug 3, 2021 | Writing

I love the Olympics. And each year I am a bit confused why I am not a part of it. Don’t people know that, in my head, I swim as fast as Katie Ledecky. And score like Megan Rapinoe. And perform difficult combination moves on the bars like Sunisa Lee.  And even though...

Mark Troy’s Drums and Hope

by Colette Freedman | Mar 6, 2020 | Acting, Artists, Films, Lacrosse, Music, Random Musings, Sports, Writing
