I am a master at this. When talking to people I give my undivided attention. I stare intently and deeply into their eyes. Only I know that I am taking in the surrounding area to see what else is going...

"Whaddaya doing?" an innocent enough inquiry, usually. Unless, of course you aren't doing anything. Which, in turn, sets off a wild mind scramble, a frantic attempt to come up with a compelling, interesting, involving, mind expanding activity, to talk about....

That’s not a particularly comforting ditty, is it? Unless of course you are sensible. And eat only grain laden, fruits and vegetables, no sugar. Perhaps emulating a chimpanzee. Surely, you’ve never seen a chubbette, unhealthy, weight watching, Atkins following one...

What, I wonder, could possibly attribute to the fall of our Governors? Do you think that our elected officials are in cahoots with Dick Wolf? They give him fodder for his Law and Order franchise, he casts someone really compelling,...

The Red Carpet query “who are you wearing” is no longer query enough. It’s now “turn around and let me read your back” or “your arm” or “chest” or… I thought I might include some of these overly wordy, sometime...

After flipping through The New York Times Style Magazine section I’d like to share a couple of observations. To begin, I was mesmerized by the almost, but not quite, Grouchoesque eyebrows arched, oh so gracefully, above the wide eyed gaze...

David Geffen? David Geffen! Oh so sad. After 38 years of speculation, was it Mick, Warren, Cat (yeah, him) Kris? It appears that the truth comes out. And, purportedly, Carly Simon wrote the song because she was pissed that Mr...

Wouldn’t you know it? Put forth a fairly snarky epistle about beliefs, ponder whether there is a bigger plan for us, shy away from considering whether there actually is an all seeing, all knowing Being and then… An omen. A...

Are you, like me, conflicted as to what to say when asked "are you religious?" Never quite sure exactly what I am being asked. I know it holds more gravitas than, "how are you?" But there as well, does the...

I'm now thinking of taking lassoing lessons. Really. Here's why. I've decided that since I've undoubtedly exhausted perusing and pursuing the East Coast's middle aged male population I might as well move points West. Other than Yosemite Sam I can't think...

A friend, a very attractive friend I might add, has given away all her turtleneck sweaters. “How come?” I innocently asked. Her response was something to do with the framing of her jowls. “But it hides the neck” I countered....

Is language precise? Some of my friends are terrific grammarians. I know this as I am the recipient of their forwarding to me all the correct uses of the words I mangle. Like that last sentence. Ah me, clearly must...

Know what "Love, 123456, password, your social security number, letmein" are? They are baby food for hackers to gain entry into your world of, well, everything you hold near and dear. Want to make it a tad more challenging for...

My comfort food is, alas, food. If reduced to describe something that has some childhood feel good attached to it, I offer up farfalle (bow tie) noodles, mixed with a humongous dollop of butter and cottage cheese, then salted. Probably...

The title of the latest make you feel better about how you have screwed up your potential mating selection/mate choices, is called "Marry Him The Case For Mr. Good Enough. Darkly comedic is how the author, Lori Gottlieb, is described. My...

Somewhere I read, can't remember where, this little ditty about dating. "When in your 20's you come into a relationship with a thimbleful of experiences. True. Approaching a relationship when middle aged you are schlepping a steamer trunk behind you."...

Johnson & Johnson, what have you done? I trusted my baby's bottom to you. Your lotions and potions soothed them. Can I ever believe in you again? Ever? Upliv? Upliv!!! A stress relief product? Aromatherapy for the soul? And it all...

The anxiety provoking, “what are you doing New Year’s Eve” question is right up there, for some, with “got a Valentine’s Day plan?” No need to expound on the reasons, if you are nodding in agreement you know why. And,...

It’s a slippery slope. At what point in time does admiration/adulation morph into cringing/critical? For me, the half time show during Super Bowl XLIV might answer that question. So sad. Any media quote that starts with “if you love The...

Can I presume that you know what MeetUp.Com is all about? In a sentence or two, it's an on line social networking site developed to give people an off line connection to other people. "Bowling Alone" (which says it all)...
