I deserve it.
I write this post spouting my own opinions on marriage. A few hours later, I sit down to watch the Marriage Ref for the first time.
You’ve seen the previews.  It’s the new show from Jerry Seinfeld, who recruited celebrities —who take turns sitting on the panel.
I didn’t watch the first episode last week.  [...]

Once upon a time  ….since I love people….and I love books……I was the perfect fit to be part of a book club.
I tried six; I even started one.  And I learned that  book clubs—like books— don’t always end happily ever after.
Though Oprah gave a boost to book lovers everywhere, I never found that book group [...]

This week is a big annual happening in our sleepy little area:   the A T & T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am–a glamour event on the golf tour offering a chance to stare or even mingle with famous golfers and celebrities.   For me,  mostly this means more traffic.
Years ago, my kids thought it was really cool [...]

What else can you possible call it?
With respect to Theodore Dreiser,  no fiction writer could dream up this mess.  It would be a great story, if only it weren’t real.
I didn’t intend to write about it…but I also didn’t think John Edwards could sink any lower than he already had.  I love words but I [...]

This is not a rhetorical question.   And I’m not being coy.  I don’t have an answer to this question—but if there’s nothing the matter with Meryl Streep, then something is the matter with that.   Seriously.  Could anyone be this magical?
It’s Hollywood  awards season.  AKA Streep season.  Time for Meryl to scoop up statues.

For anyone who didn’t get why I’m dumping George Clooney for Alec Baldwin.…if you see the movie you will get what I SEE in Alec….ALL of it.
Maybe the box office won’t challenge Avatar, already the fourth biggest hit of  ALL TIME. But hopefully this movie will convince Alec not to abandon acting; and will convince [...]
