Know who they are? Sure you do. The other woman.   The "I will write a book, tell all, capitalize on my relationship with (Charles, Norman, John, Bill, and Henry. Like in the 8th, that Henry) which I throughly enjoyed...

Is it dullish, boring, bland? Without any true identity? Just wallpaper? Generic really does get a bad rap, doesn’t it? Do you find yourself skulking up to the check out counter if your cart is loaded with store branded items?...

Don't you delight in the smiles and giggles evoked from a simple game of peek a boo? For those of you in the bah humbug crowd, don't cavort with anyone under two feet, or come from the seen but not...

Anderson Cooper did. Did you see him interview celebrity Chef Jose Andres on 60 Minutes? Did you notice that I still don’t know how to put an accent over a letter? And did you, like me, wonder how Anderson Cooper...

Do you worry?  I'm not talking about the big stuff. Nothing that would show up in a Thomas Friedman column.  It's the really really, personally important, how did I actually exist without this, get through my day, information stuff.  Makeup...

You have heard, I imagine, the imperative 'publish or perish'? The nemesis of the academic community.  What shall we research next?  What hasn't been explored, studied, analyzed and examined in minute detail? Will we get funding? Will we be lauded...

Do you know why men's casual Fridays dress down, wear a polo or tee shirt, never really took off? A conspiracy by Brooks Brothers? Not enough variety from J. Crew? Sorbet colors aren't flattering? Nope. It's because they figured out...

Do you think advertising dollars might drive TV programming? Right you are. Boomers (76 million of 'em) have been a relatively underserved segment in TV land.  Until now.  With abject horror, I read that the reality show world has extended...

The Brooklyn Ball. I actually could have attended this event. If I had been on the mailing list. Or, had made a mega donation. Or knew someone who knew someone. Or paid attention to my mail… other than the please...

Can you imagine the challenge of figuring out how to seduce and beguile tourists/adventurers/those with any disposable income/where do we go next/ to pick your company for their next vacation?  Wilderness and gourmet cooking? Why not.  You might have decided...

Can you imagine? In an article I read, they euphemistically called it 'White Matter'. Which, for me, has a decidedly better ring than 'fat', don't you agree? Think about it, "I've added some white matter to my hips," Perhaps that conjures...

Dillydally?  Isn't that a great word?  Wonder where it originated. I might look that up. Later, after I put away the dishes. But first I have to write a few emails. Then, after I separate the whites from the darks...

“…a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy…” and a strong jawline, too boot, staving off a little nip/tuck for him. Really. Well, maybe not. Having no idea, actually, how old Yorick was when he met his maker…but, according...

Think again. Throw that veggie burger on the grill. Add some relish, ketchup, pickles, onions and perhaps a slice or two of cheddar and you can happily indulge in your summertime barbeque, without sacrificing a cow. You also are pretty...

The Mad Hatter, The Cheshire Cat, absolutely TweedleDee and Dum, I’ve dated them all. And, like Alice, haven’t a clue what any of those guys might have been talking about at any given time, either. Take for instance, the latest...

Catchy header? It would be an important collection of letters and a number to know if you are a phlegm producing machine. Which, we all know, is a singularly undesirable, unattractive and not a good way to make friends, way...

If that evokes a visual of Vic Tanny (am I really dating myself that much..??) okay David Barton, you’d be wrong. Strong shoulders is the 21st c euphemism for shoulder pads. You remember shoulder pads, don’t you? The 80’s power...

Actually he coulda. If his parents had been prize fighters would it have mattered? Depending on the latest research it might have helped, but then again, it might not have. It seems what he really needed to do was practice....

Not a good time to be the Colonel. I’ll tell you about his continued troubles forthwith, but tell me, does he look a little cross eyed to you? Anyhow, if their fried chicken, biscuits and gravy, mashed potatoes and other...

Can you guess? Give you a hint? Nah.
