Contemplating. . . This, That. . . And The French

October 29, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 3 Comments

I am contemplating the need to sweep my small deck which is covered in a carpet of pine needles, and a few scattered golden leaves. I am contemplating a walk in the sunshine though it is cold, and the necessity of sticking to a brisk pace. I am contemplating a surprise dinner last evening – […]

Relationship Approach: Strategy or Serendipity?

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

He shows up with a dizzying armload of flowers, and behind them – his mischievous smile I’ve come to adore, the one that lightens everything that crazies me, the one that makes me want to drop whatever I’m holding as I take his face in my hands and kiss him, then kiss him again, and […]

Hot Dogs and French Open (and French Men?)

May 28, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

Et si je disais que je m’occupais de “chiens chauds” et de Roland Garros? If I were to say that this weekend is dedicated to the pursuit of as much French Open Tennis as I can manage (on television, sadly) – and the occasional hot dog? Isn’t that a glorious combo? Might we mix the […]

Vivacious (Or How to Stay Young and Mischievous)

May 24, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 6 Comments

French version / version française © D A Wolf How do you say “tongue in cheek” in French? He ignores me. He types next to me. He’s concentrating on his work, but he reaches his hand over to my knee. Must I ask again? “I don’t know how to translate that,” he says, looking at […]

May 24, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 5 Comments

English version / version anglaise © D A Wolf Comment dire “tongue in cheek ?” Il ne répond pas. Il tape à côté de moi. Il se concentre sur son travail. Il passe la main sur mon genou. Faut-il répéter ? “J’en sais rien !” dit-il, en me regardant comme si j’étais une petite emmerdeuse […]

Turning a Blind Eye

May 20, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 18 Comments

So what do Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dominique Strauss-Kahn have in common? Both have made headlines this week, though the circumstances are dramatically different; Schwarzenegger has admitted to a love child, and Strauss-Kahn has allegedly committed assault. But they are public figures, and I think we can agree, powerful men. With the current media swirl around […]

Therapy

February 19, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 8 Comments

It has been months since I’ve been in a store. For girl stuff. To buy a lipstick. To try on shoes. Therapeutic shopping, if you will. I need to run my fingers through a clothing rack. I need to slip my tootsies into Calvin Klein, Miu Miu, and oooo. . .  Jimmy Choo. I need […]
