Healthcare: Headache or Heartache?

September 28, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 24 Comments

Anyone see the New York Times yesterday? A new study shows that health care costs for family coverage have risen 9% for employers in the past year. Concerned about that? Concerned if you’re working and covered? If you’re working and not covered? If you’re looking for work? What about your friends and family that may […]

Midlife Mix-Master: Overwhelmed, Underwhelmed, and Worried Sick

The Testosterone Tumble

September 17, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 11 Comments

Here’s a provocative piece of news that came out earlier this week and gives me pause – and not applause. Apparently, testosterone plunges in men who actively exercise Daddy duties. Say what? The New York Times offers its interpretation of this (disturbing?) data on maleness and fatherhood, and a “politically correct” spin which I find […]

Missing Moguls, Tales of Taxes, Staggering Statistics

September 15, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 23 Comments

This one caught my eye the other evening – the reappearance of former Computerland CEO William Millard, and the apparent cat-and-mouse game to hunt him down and collect some $100 million in taxes. I’m not entirely sure why these mysteries fascinate me, though certainly the larger-than-life personalities have much to do with it, including the […]

Anti Anti-Aging, Pro Great Glow

September 12, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 21 Comments

I thought it was the usual – a skinnied-down version of a new magazine in a world gone virtual. Daring, I thought, as attempting any sort of print publication in this age of the Internet is an uphill battle. But I set aside the bills from the mailbox, and sat down to page through. I […]

Mothering vs Making Love

August 10, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 20 Comments

It’s been nearly a month since I read the article on Motherlode pitting parenting against passion. Allow me to clarify. Lisa Belkin was following up on “Fear of Flying” author Erica Jong’s recent ruminations on women and sex. Or lack of sex. Among younger women, younger mothers in particular, Ms. Jong notes an apparent lessened […]

To The Manor Born? Child Support, Money Magic

August 5, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 15 Comments

This was too juicy to pass up. Apparently 46-year old supermodel Linda Evangelista is asking for $46,000/month in child support from the father of her 4-year old son. Who is dear old dad? None other than François-Henri Pinault, the current (billionaire) French hubby of the ravishing Salma Hayek, with whom he also has a 4-year […]

Challenging Kids, Knee-Jerk Reactions, Band-Aid Responses

July 15, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 14 Comments

Who doesn’t want to scream when it comes to their kid? At least now and then? In the past 24 hours, one of my sons tried my patience over a long-running issue. I lost my temper – though he admits to seeing that I was holding back – but I went for a more hard-line […]

Healthy or Unhealthy? Cultural Commentary: A Conversation

July 13, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 19 Comments

“Why should my tax dollars pay for your medical care?” she says. Her blue eyes are piercing against her softly tanned skin. Her eyebrows are raised, and her lips pursed in annoyance. At first I think she’s kidding. But she’s not. She is about thirty, and we know each other casually. She’s healthy, single, in […]
