Get a Clue
I think that it’s difficult to find modern philosophers who are approachable by the average man. Where can turn for help in this trying age?
We can turn to the sage and wizened characters of the movie Clueless. Yes, I said Clueless. Here’s my thought: I first watched this movie when I was all of 12 [...]
When a Cookie Isn’t Just a Cookie
So I’ve been working on putting together stuff for ye olde Bachelorette Party. First of all, can I just say that it’s going to rock? There will be naughty cookies, yummy candies, lots of games, and plenty o’ booze.
It’s an interesting shift from working on the bridal shower. For that party, everything was classy and [...]
Just a Thought
World peace doesn’t seem so far away after a helping of cookies and milk.
Downhill Slope?
It is my birthday today. I am lucky to be blessed with a rockin’ family so I’ve actually been celebrating since Friday while on vacation. So far I’ve danced on a bar at Coyote Ugly, had Sinatra sung to me by a rock band in Nashville, had killer fried cheesecake, and spent a great time [...]
What a Shame
Is it still a walk of shame if you didn’t do anything shameful? While sharing stories of embarrassment over the weekend, I told a dear friend about a particularly impressive walk of shame of my own which followed a perfectly innocent evening.
Last March I was fortunate enough to be participating the play Five Women Wearing [...]

In only a few hours the music will start to swell [...]
Happy Father’s Day
Did you know that the national observance of Father’s Day wasn’t officially set until 1972? It had been in the works since 1909 when a woman who had been raised by her father was listening to a sermon on Mother’s Day. She decided that it was important to recognize her father for all he had [...]
Happy Anniversary
You may or may not know this folks, but yesterday was our one year anniversary. Yep. June 14, 2007, I posted my very first blog on this site. I confess that I never expected to keep it up. I expected a few days of semi-interesting commentary to eventually peter out. However, one year later I am [...]
So Very Close!
Do you realize how close we are to Tony Night? The signs are everywhere. The quickening of my breath. The flush on the cheeks of your theater friends. The gay men buying streamers for the party. The fact that Broadway is on the news! I am always amused that every tiny detail of the lives [...]
