Nine more days! Nine days to go, and it’s back! When it comes to good television, this definitely qualifies. It’s the Season 3 opener of AMC TV’s Mad Men. Ooooo I love the provocative push-pull of 60s propriety and its shady underbelly – the illicit affairs, the deceptive dialogue, questionable ethics, and steamy scenes. Once […]

Life Before Google. SATs. A Great Omelette.
“Register for the SATs,” I said this morning. Again. As I was pulling laundry out of the washer, and shoving it into the dryer. “They’re coming up in early October.” “How do I do that?” he asks. My son is 16. He’s fixing himself the king of all omelettes. “Google!” I holler, from the next […]
I love ALLTOP, Part Deux
Thank you, Alltop. And thank you Twitter. Please see this post on branding moms and dads differently. Was I just the straw that broke the camel’s back, on an issue that was in the resolution queue anyway? It’s now a few hours later – and whatever the reason – it seems that Alltop listened. There […]
I love ALLTOP, but…
Quick post. I love Alltop.com – I find it incredibly useful to get to top blogs in an organized fashion. And as a user of blogs in two languages, professionally and personally – I think Alltop.com is a tremendous time saver and a very usable resource. My issue I enjoy reading the DAD blogs – […]
Luscious Locks on Older Women. I’m In.
Last year on a trip to Paris – to see art and write – as usual, I spent as much time as possible out and about enjoying the city. Comfortable shoes, my journal and a pen. Heaven. One afternoon, alone in a café, I couldn’t take my eyes off an older woman who sat nearby. […]
Loving X Two: In Love With Multiple People
Have you loved more than one person at the same time? I suppose I should make a distinction between “in love” and “loving,” but is that necessary, really, if the net effect is the same? When you’re involved with multiple people, you’ve got double the pleasure. Maybe. You certainly have double the trouble. And then […]
Why Smart Is Sexy
Smart is sexy. Yes, indeed. Smart men can morph themselves into the hottest, most charismatic sexual beings on the planet, no matter what they look like. So hold the plugs, lose the lifts, and come as you are. Let’s talk about smart men. Let’s talk about their irrepressible sex appeal. Let’s talk about their ample […]
I lost my summer. (Where did it go?)
Do Russkipreneurs somehow know I speak Russian? How many times do I have to delete their spam? Right. It’s not a conspiracy. They’re spamming us all. Do my teens realize the summer has disappeared? The past two months have been swallowed by a black hole. Right. I did it myself. So much for my daydreams […]
Miracle babies
Three cheers for miracle babies! I just had to give a jubilant shout-out across the ocean to an old friend. He gave me a ring this afternoon to share a happy event, the birth of his daughter. She’s five weeks premature but mother and child are doing great! Let’s hear it for miracles and miracle […]
Internet intros: Meet and greet on Messenger?
Should your first meeting with a new man (or woman) be through video? And can you introduce your kids to a new love interest online, say – via Messenger? Online introductions Frankly, an online intro is a quick way to discern if there’s a spark with a possible online date. Sound cold? I think it’s […]
