Slicing the Onion

May 26, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 7 Comments

You know the recipe by heart and you move through the preparations as usual. You grab the red onion and slice through its textured flesh with a practiced hand. You begin the quick business of cutting rings or dicing squares, and your eyes begin to burn, to tear uncontrollably, and you’re caught off guard. So […]

Coming Out of the Closet

May 22, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 23 Comments

Roller-coaster moods. Stomach in knots. Can’t eat. What could it be? Hormones? Nope. One week to go until all the exams are over, and then comes graduation. I’m worried about logistics (the ex coming to town) – and of course, I want everything to go well for my son. I need my therapy: chocolate, Paris, […]

Sentimental Fool

May 21, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 26 Comments

These days I travel with wads of Kleenex at the ready. Or toilet paper. Or napkins. I’m tearing up at the drop of a hat. Misty over big things, like my son’s scholarship to college. Over small things, like an innocuous remark. A photograph may set off a chain reaction – recollections of my boys […]

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 […]

Romance Racetrack: Time or Timing?

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

Some of us have been off the market for awhile. The dating market, that is. And we’re daunted at the thought of plunging back in – or even sticking a baby toe in the worrisome waters of social interaction. I’ve had my own experiences in and out of the post-marital dating pool. And if you’re […]

Baby Bump? Try Budget Bummer!

May 17, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 17 Comments

I know several women who have recently given birth, and others who are expecting babies. I couldn’t be more delighted for them. In each case, they are mothers (already), and devoted ones at that. Babies are always happy news. Giving life is an incredible experience, and parenting – filled with wonder. But the realities of […]

Moms Gone Wild?

May 8, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 11 Comments

Is my own version of Moms Gone Wild in the future? Is it in yours? Once my chicks have flown the nest, I doubt I’ll be the poster parent for frenzied frolicking or salacious sex scenes. Then again, you never know, though I suspect that an afternoon of discount designer shoe shopping might be more […]

Vulnerable

May 2, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

Do you remember the first time you fell in love? Or perhaps, the most recent? Do you recall the complex cocktail of emotions involved – not the least of which is awareness of your vulnerability? What about the loss of appetite? The dreamy distractions? Too little sleep? We all know it’s impossible to predict the […]
