So much for easing into the New Year. Here in New York we got a mighty blast of the winter air and snow up to our knees. Ok, not that much snow. It is a winter wonderland that we get to watch from our windows indoor while sipping […]
No, I am not dreaming of Cherry Garcia ice cream. No, I’m not dreaming of a deadhead concert even though I did attend an elite preppy boarding school. Many are currently dreaming of a white Christmas. I, on the other hand, am dreaming of Cherryheads. Not lemon heads, […]
It is Friday the 13th. Again. It has occurred twice in 2013. Last year, in 2012, it occurred three times. Interestingly, in 2014, it will only occur once. Whew! But then in 2015, we will be faced with that day three times. I don’t know about you all, […]
Another week, another soggy diaper and salty trail of tears. Such is life. Wackiness abounds in great big buckets of slop. Not only are politicians their usual two-faced selves but we have a slew of apocalyptic behavior and my own private wacked-out hell. Enjoy the weekend folks. The […]

We are fully in autumn now. The leaves are falling and with it perhaps the national IQ as well, along with the collective sense of dignity. Bill Maher put out a new rule last week about the state of American attire in the public sphere. We are a […]
While growing up, Good Friday was a somber day in my catholic household. No music. No dancing. Not much television. No meat. The list can go on and on. It was a time for reverence, reflection and prayer. Friday, the 13th, whenever it came about was also a […]
Went to sleep late last night, holding on tightly to my IPAD. Not unlike many other Americans and the technology-obsessed. Dreamt wild dreams of working underground battling bats and snakes; and those were just my co-workers. Woke up with frizzy curls and a fuzz head. Waddled over to […]
