The War on Zoom

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/06/27

In this story...The war on Zoom. I’m Joanne Greene.It started slowly, tentatively. Those of us living outside of Israel had joined a zoom call to support our friends, fellow writers with whom we’d been meeting virtually since the start of Covid. We’d become a community and had been present, to hold one another through tough times – the loss of a grandchild, the end of a marriage, the crime of a brother-in-law, the passing of a beloved grandfather, the horrors of October 7th. We’re Writers Near and

A Nearly Extinct Private Language

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/06/10

In this story, a nearly extinct private language. I’m Joanne Greene.Every family has its special phrases. You know, the ones that crack you up while everyone outside of the immediate circle tilts their heads like a dog saying “huh”? Can you ever agree on whether it’s mischievous or mischeivious? (The former.) Is it “on accident” or “by accident”? Clearly, the latter.In 2002, years before my sister Rayna was too sick to laugh, her husband created a lengthy document entitled The Joys of Raynglish,

Sleep Interruptus

In this story, sleep interruptus. I’m Joanne Greene.When I opened my eyes, I noticed that I was in a very comfortable bed, my son’s bed, that is my son and his wife’s bed, the fourth bed I’d slept in that night. This nighttime bed hopping is part of my role as grandma. Yoyo, they call me. It’s a moniker first shared by my great nephew, now 25 years old. The night began with a reading of Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile, a classic story that teaches acceptance of differences, kindness, tolerance, and

There's More Than One Boston Accent

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/05/02

In this story, there’s more than one Boston accent. I’m Joanne Greene.For many, if not most of you, the words “merry”, “marry” and “Mary” are all pronounced the same way. Merry, merry, merry. But for me, born and raised just outside of Boston, they are three distinct words…Listen closely.“Merry” is generally associated with Christmas, as in MERRY Christmas.“Marry” is what happens at a wedding. She will MARRY her partner.And “Mary” is a name. Mary J Blige…Mary Oliver…Mary Quite Contrary.There’s

My Relationship With Words

2025/04/04

In this story, my relationship with words. I’m Joanne Greene.When I was 2 years old, they couldn’t shut me up. I babbled with unintelligible sounds until I landed a few words and, from then on, it was Chatty Cathy. Continuous communication. By the way, Chatty Cathy was a doll in the late 50s early 60s who spoke when you pulled her string, a doll my parents would not let me have, for obvious reasons. They didn’t need more words. To save their sanity, they sent me to preschool at age 2 which, in 1956,

Escaping Flames

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/03/21

In this story, I escape some flames. I’m Joanne Greene.It was 1979 in San Francisco, and I was flying high as a news anchor at the legendary FM radio station, K-S-A-N, affectionately called KSAN. I was in love with Fred Greene, morning show producer and part time jock, and my career was the envy of aspiring radio journalists. Metromedia, KSAN’s parent company, had brought in a new General Manager from Los Angeles to “right the ship.” He’d successfully turned big profits at KMET in LA and the suits

What to Take When Forced to Evacuate

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/03/07

In October of 1991, we lived in the Oakland Hills…the area in which the tunnel fire, also known as the Oakland Firestorm, killed 25 people, injured 150 others, and devoured 2,843 single-family dwellings and 437 apartments. Thankfully, our home was unharmed but the same could not be said for many of our friends. Before the fire was controlled, we were briefly allowed into our home to salvage precious belongings. We took videotapes, photo albums, and journals – irreplacables. We thought about taking

Taking Our Temperature

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/02/21

In this story, we take our temperature. I’m Joanne Greene.Now I understand why the elderly have always worn cardigans. They’re easier to put on and take off when our collective thermostats die.Case in point. This morning. There was frost on the ground, so I bundled up before taking my dog and grand dog for a forest therapy walk in the woods. Gloves, a beanie, and a parka seemed about right. And it was. For about 10 minutes. Then, off came the hat; I’ve never liked things on my head. Fifteen minutes

Shameless Maternal Pride

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/02/07

Safe to say, we all want the same for our children – that they feel loved and valued, that they respect themselves and others, and that they be resilient. If you’re lucky enough to see your child become a parent, you’re in for a treat. You get to watch from the sidelines as they learn what it means to give selflessly, to love from the very deepest place in their hearts, and to hopefully practice the best of what you strove to impart.My older son spent a month at his in-laws home in San Malo, France

Day One at the Jive 95 - KSAN San Francisco

In this Story... with Joanne Greene ·

2025/01/24

The contrast between working conditions at KRE and those of the typical San Francisco radio station in the mid 1970’s was stunning. KRE’s door was never locked. Messages were written on a pad of pink “While You’re Were Out” paper and stuck on a spindle on the front desk. We replaced the typewriter ribbons ourselves and there was no hot running water in either of the bathrooms. Our General Manager and sales staff negotiated trade agreements with local restaurants - ads for food, basically - so a big

The Meaning of Showing Up

In this story, the meaning of showing up. I’m Joanne Greene.My eldest cousin passed away. He was 91. We knew it was coming. But that doesn’t make it any easier for his one and only daughter, who valiantly navigated caring for him from afar as his condition deteriorated and his undaunting spirit led him to continue working in his legal practice, attempting to drive, and making questionable decisions that led to numerous ER visits and hospital stays. He remained in Boston, the city in which he lived
