Amiee Tate’s Analog Sunday: April 26, 2026
Last weekend, I was anxious all day Friday and Saturday. That dread in the stomach, what I used to think meant something terrible was going to happen which I now know to be residue of stress that already happened, days earlier, working its way out. At one point I doubled over because I learned one more…

Amiee Tate’s Sunday Review: March 22, 2026
I was sitting in traffic and watched a very overweight woman, younger than me, with a walker, struggle to open the door of what I would generously call a bodega. It was a dirty windowed little storefront in the middle of the block with what looked like 5 cans of something on a shelf. I realize,…

Enjoying life at home with no trips planned until May. Last Sunday my Elvis loving husband took me to see Baz Luhrmann’s EPIC: Elvis Presley in Concert. Elvis had an “in on the joke” smile on his face during his performances that I have never noticed before. It made me like him a little better. I…

New Yorker’s sure don’t know how to handle snow removal. Last Sunday afternoon we detoured off 5th Ave to Bryant Park’s Winter Village. We watched four young park workers attempting to clear the sidewalk; shoulder to shoulder they worked scrapping up fistfuls of snow in garden spades that, step by step they flipped a few inches in…

Big Day for those that celebrate. Who isn’t wanting the Seahawks to win? Work tomorrow so just the two of us, taking it easy. Costco marinated ribs are going in the oven around 3, homemade fries and slaw and ice cream and peanut butter cookies for dessert. I will break into my stash of Opolo Chardonnay. I say…

Amiee Tate’s Sunday Review: Feb 1, 2026
After my brother left last week, it really put a line through the holiday season. January is ordinary time. Days are getting longer but we are far from done with the snow and cold. For a brief time, I can keep a routine. This week I appreciated the ability to work out every morning, keep to a sleep schedule,…

Sunday Review January 26, 2026
My brother went home this week, an unfinished 1000 piece puzzle of Cinque Terre on the dining room table is my reminder that he was here. When we weren’t talking about my parents, we talked about cruises we wanted to take together and worked on the puzzle. It is snappy cold this week and as I write this, the…

Chicago Stories: New Years Day
I like New Year’s because it’s a holiday everyone celebrates. I like to shout out “Happy New Year!” to everyone, not worrying whether they celebrate or not, because they do! And almost everyone does at least a small thing to mark the event. In my life, for NYE, I have gone to bar parties, celebrated in…

“She Requires Higher Levels of Stimulation.”
How many more tomatoes could there be to grow, labradors or children to foster, ducks and chickens to keep, businesses to start, homes to buy or sell, funds to raise, trails to hike, vacations to take or plans to make. I am tired of constantly moving. I am wanting to lose myself in an activity…
