It’s Mad Men night! I do so love my Mad Men. What’s not to love? They’re gorgeous, glamorous, mysterious, and the psychological waters are darkening, pulling us in and under. But I watch for other reasons – probably like many viewers. I watch for the aura of the 1960s, either as we imagine it, or […]
Lunch ladies unite! We are not all the same!
I’m going to bust a gut, or the laces on my corset. All women are NOT the same! (Look at Lunch Lady – is she your girl next door? Your neighbor’s wife? Yo mama??) If I hear one more time – “all women try to change a man” – I’m rounding up my friendly action […]

Good News Extravaganza (Bad News Moratorium)
Life sucks. We know. I’m tired of reading bad news. Enough already. Do you hear that New York Times? Wall Street Journal? MSNBC? We get it. This guy? No one looks like this guy. Not on my planet. Hell – I’ve got a laptop in my bed, not some hunka-hunka-sweet-faced manhood with pouty lips and […]
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 […]
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 […]
I scream, you scream, we all scream… for peach pie!
OMG. I couldn’t help myself. I watched the Atlanta Housewives last night. OMG. (Did I say that already?) I know Reality TV is not reality. I know Bravo TV looks for bigger-than-life characters, unapologetic opulence, and then edits edits edits to shape the on air antics into whatever suits. After all, it’s entertainment. Nonetheless, this […]
Telling commentary – erotic literature, art nudes
What are you reading, Part Deux! I’m enjoying a variety of books this summer, and my reading habits include juicy art texts with sensual images from mid-century surrealists to modern and contemporary portraiture, along with a photography reference I’m anxious to crack open. It promises to be an interesting read, and again – filled with […]
What’s on your bookshelf?
What are you reading? What’s on your bookshelf? And what does it say about you? Have you ever been to someone’s home, and you know that something feels a little “off,” but you aren’t sure why? That happens to me when there are no books. And it’s most surprising when it’s a spacious and expensive […]
Well-being at any age?
Well-being at any age? Certainly! And I was going to grab my opportunity while I had it; quiet time is a rarity on my crazy little planet. More so this summer. Twenty minutes to myself – extraordinary! How would I take advantage? A hot interlude in the late afternoon sun, on the little deck overlooking […]
