Christian Louboutin, eroticism, and the most beautiful shoes in the world version française / French version © D A Wolf Yesterday, I saw the most beautiful shoes in the world.

Mad Men Marathon… Can I Call In Sick?
You are cordially invited … to an all day Mad Men Marathon! AMC TV – shame on you! How many Americans will be calling in sick today to watch 13 hours of Mad Men Mania, in anticipation of next weekend’s Season 3 premiere? OH, you say… that’s what TiVO is for? And those of us […]
When it Comes to Internet Discounts, Caveat Emptor
Do you know the expression, caveat emptor, let the buyer beware? When it comes to Internet discounts, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. This afternoon, I was trying to find a discount outlet for something I really wanted to purchase for my son. I couldn’t afford the retail price, so […]
The Benefits of Touch: Excerpts from Living and Loving with Chronic Pain
What if you’re the caretaker or loved one of someone who suffers from chronic pain? If you love or care for someone who lives with chronic pain, whether the result of illness or injury, all the more reason to pay attention to the careful sharing of touch.

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.

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 […]
