Smiling?

April 6, 2012 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

We’re headed into a holiday weekend. You may be up for a little unleavened bread or, you’ve tucked away chocolate and eggs in case a certain floppy-eared creature needs to dip into your stash. Either way, you probably visited one or more of your local markets – for food, for drink, and possibly for flowers. […]

Feeling Foolish

October 9, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

There are times I want to reach out to someone, but I hesitate. I don’t want to embarrass them. I don’t want to make assumptions. I don’t want to embarrass myself. There are times I’m skeptical when someone praises me, though that happens less as I get older. These days? Offer me a kind word, […]

How to Survive a Really Bad Day

February 10, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 10 Comments

The key to getting through a bad day? A superb glass of wine at the end of the day may enable you to unwind – just a little. But to make it through? While the-day-from-hell is in process? You need great people. Or as Blanche DuBois might say, the kindness of strangers. Yesterday was a […]

Dental Dam(n) and Cool Whip

January 4, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

Your eyelids are swollen shut and you’re trying to pry them open and feeling for your glasses which, oddly, aren’t in the place where you put them every damn night but somehow they’ve gone AWOL when you’re running late and you can’t see anyway because (a) you can’t find your glasses and (b) your eyelids […]

Bashing the banking biz?

September 8, 2009 by D. A. Wolf Leave a Comment

Feel like bashing the banking biz? Join the crowd. We’re weary of hearing about bailouts that boggle the mind, executive bonuses and perks, and of course – fraud – exceeding anything we could ever have imagined.
