Al and Tipper Gore
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, by now you’ve heard the term gray divorce, likely in conjunction with the news that Al and Tipper Gore are splitting up after 40 years.
Of course, the original announcement was followed by a claim that Al Gore’s marital defection was in fact the result of [...]

I took a day off yesterday. More precisely, I took the afternoon and evening off. To flirt.
It’s something I don’t do often enough. Flirtation is an art form, and it requires practice. Besides, I needed a taste of the outside world, its color and aroma, the adult world. I live the writer’s life, isolated in [...]

Yesterday was fabulous. I went out. Without my laptop, without a plan, and not very far from home. After a week of endless parenting duties and a devilish dose of stress, I finished my morning writing, closed the computer, grabbed cute shoes and made a beeline for… wherever I might end up.
Sex and the [...]

It was a first date – very casual – and he was picking me up at my home. Though he expected one of my sons might be there, he didn’t anticipate what he encountered. My kid opened the door, let my date in, to the view of a tall, attractive man in his underwear, walking [...]

Tweaking the recipe
A little of this, a little of that. I love recipes that I can tweak. I thrive on what evolves, what surprises me, what turns out differently each time, even a smidge. Perhaps this is because I’m never quite the same from one day to the next. Are any of us, really?
I [...]

A fine wine, a conversation
What could be better than a wonderful Côtes du Rhône in hand, and conversation shared with a friend in France?
That friend is a journalist who writes with a refined eye and wicked wit on all things stylish and oh-so French. And what subject comes up? Paris Fashion Week? It’s [...]

Last weekend I ventured out. On Date Night. It was… interesting. An enjoyable dinner. And a strange dénouement. Then I waxed winsomely on the subject of body language and touch, and interpreting non-verbal communication. Not quite one week later, here’s my take: I suck at dating.
How to determine your dating prowess
Care to know if you, [...]

When you converse face-to-face, do you touch the person with whom you’re speaking? Perhaps you graze the forearm, or rest your hand for a moment on the shoulder.
Some of us are more naturally warm, with voices and gestures that radiate energy, compassion, empathy. We lean forward, we make eye contact, and we touch – in [...]

Money makes the world go round?
Yesterday I enjoyed my Bravo TV fix while puttering around, as Millionaire Matchmaker reruns played in the background. I won’t say I wasn’t amused by some of the shenanigans, and experienced a gag reflex at others, but judging by the way this show nudges an odd assortment of characters into [...]

When I was seeing someone awhile back, there was virtually – and I mean virtually – no mention of him, or “us” on the Internet. I was quiet as a (dare I say it). . . mouse.
After all, even in our online world, some things (to some of us) are private. Very private. Like [...]
