My Son, the Factory Worker

June 9, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 25 Comments

When the phone rang yesterday afternoon, I couldn’t have been more delighted. I recognized the number immediately – it was my 18-year old son calling from Europe. The last time we talked, he was fresh off 20 long hours of travel. He was weary, but excited to find himself overseas again. He was ready to […]

I’m not dead yet, but I must be certifiable

February 19, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 8 Comments

So my kid is up at 4:00 am, Friday morning. Yes, this morning. In the kitchen. Which of course wakes me up, after four blissful hours which possibly could have extended into five. I’m a light sleeper no matter what, and these days, that’s an understatement. So I pad out to the kitchen (10 steps […]

Parenting Tips: When Kids Are Ready for Home Alone

October 29, 2009 by D. A. Wolf 13 Comments

I recently described a transatlantic booty call from an old friend – with the possibility of a free trip to Paris (compliments of his generosity). French sex versus responsible parenting? For me, it’s a no-brainer; I received commiseration from the single moms (how romantic, how nice to dream, etc.), and from the single dads – […]

Strange notes; no visible thread

July 18, 2009 by D. A. Wolf Leave a Comment

No visible thread, no thread we recognize; only these strange notes, this scent, this cloud of color, this reminiscent taste. Yes, the sensation of relief. Yesterday, walking… and reminders I wondered once what I would remember and what I would forget. Yesterday, walking. Yesterday, restless. Yesterday, too much to do, my first born in the […]
