I Just Bought a $1000 Hat
August 31, 2010
I am a drudge. I’m an over-weight middle aged woman who schleps to Brooklyn every day to work at a desk. (OK, I love what I do, but that is not where I am going with this.) My point is, there is nothing to distinguish me from millions of others of my ilk who are the galley slaves of society…

Hello Fellow Cave-Dwellers, Are you about to step back onto that zany roller coaster ride known as dating?

First Published in Newsweek When the history of the 21st century is written, March 21, 2010, will go down as the day Congress cleared the way for health-care reform.

Cholesterol and Heart Attacks
April 5, 2010
Each year when getting the results of my annual physical (something that didn’t become annual until my 40s) I smile when my doctor tells me that my cholesterol is 160. I think to myself that I must be doing something right with my diet; or perhaps pizza has now become the new salmon. Recently I [...]

Fairy Tale Endings
March 19, 2010
I’m embarrassed to admit that when I first heard about John Edwards having an affair and fathering a child with another woman besides his wife Elizabeth, I just couldn’t or didn’t want to believe it! It isn’t that I don’t understand that this type of thing happens – it does all too often; it is [...]
Valentines Day
February 12, 2010
Well, fellow Man-Cave Dwellers, another Valentine’s Day is upon us. You know if you spend this day in your Man-Cave you will definitely be spending the rest of the year in the dog house.
