I didn’t make up this headline: I saw it on Twitter and I had the same reaction you did. But it’s no joke—as I discovered when I checked out the original story in the London Daily Mail. Here’s an excerpt: Social networking sites such as Facebook could raise your risk of serious health problems by [...]
#1. I saw the movie. #2. V saw it with me. (Real men see chick flicks.) #3. I never thought of myself as a shopaholic. #4. We’ve seen every other movie playing here— and I like Isla Fisher. #5. Even though I can’t comprehend how someone could look so good who shot this movie right [...]
Peppy is a low-maintenance pet. Nothing has ever been wrong with her–except for the time I accidentally slammed the front door shut—on her tail (documented by this picture). The kids and I never quite got over that—but fortunately Peppy did. When Socks died a few days ago, I thought about someday losing Peppy– although she’s [...]

My hike to the airport from the inauguration definitely qualified as intense exercise. So it allowed me to feel almost okay that I’ve avoided working out ever since. This week I returned to the Power Plate. And I mentioned to my sister that I finally worked out after a month. Though she praised me for [...]
Lately it’s easy to find a parking space on the main street in town and it seems as if every third house is for sale. I haven’t been shopping for anything other than groceries. Major chain stores are gone. I know people who have lost their jobs. And yet living in an idyllic and beautiful [...]
I’m at a meeting yesterday with the young guy who is my guru of all things internet. “You really don’t need to blog every single day. Give yourself a break sometimes.” I’m not convinced. But I agree sometimes I really should take a night off. V and I go out to dinner. I tell V [...]
