How Ridiculous Are These Guys?

A Good First Date
I took myself out last night. I didn’t send emails asking anyone to come along and I didn’t call my friends to invite them out with me. I put on brown Banana Republic pants, a bright blue Ann Taylor blouse, did my hair and took off. I was going to hit The Grass Root, Tampa’s [...]
Biden Our Time
Until real change comes along. Any supporter who fell for a “skinny black kid with a funny name” at the 2004 convention has got to be disappointed. A campaign that started out one way has turned into something quite different. If you aren’t annoyed or outraged, you simply aren’t paying attention. Or you’re so blinded [...]

Homes are Similar to Lovers and Shoes – You Should Know How Many You Have

My children start third grade today.
I’m hoping all goes well. I remember third grade. I have memories from before that time period, sure, bits and pieces, but third grade is when my recollection focuses sharply and is still crystal clear today. I’m blessed/cursed with a vivid memory. I remember my teacher that year and how she ate grapes every day. [...]
I’ve Got Some Good News and Some Bad News
The other day, Oldest had a sore neck. Slept on it wrong or something. He complained about his neck for a few minutes so I gave him love and an ice pack. Then he complained some more. And some more. Time for tough love. “You sound like an old Jewish man,” I said. “You do [...]
The Most Wonderful Time of the Year?
Here’s a blast from my past… Forget shorter days and cooler nights, this past week many parents took part in an event that signals the end of summer around here: back-to-school shopping. Mothers maneuvered carts through crowded aisles carrying lists provided by their children’s schools. They carefully checked off glue sticks, composition notebooks, and pocket [...]
