I wonder if I’ll ever run out of things to say. If the time will come when I will wake up, pour a cup of tea, and just like when my fingers strain for the last few tiles in a Scrabble bag, I’ll start running out and eventually I’ll be done. Maybe a person is…
Sometimes I’m just not sure there’s room for vanilla anymore. I understand the need for everyone to be represented, but I can’t even relate to most of the movies that are currently out. I’m either inundated with sappy stupid, or I find myself wondering when everything, everyone, became so cool and hip. I think it’s great if there are movies…
I can relate. Not to the mom, I am the Steve Martin character, at least I can get like him more often than not, and I am married to the King of the Roller Coaster. Calm, steady, deal with it as it comes, live for today. Hands up and tight turns are in Michael’s DNA. I’m a…
The blog has felt a little heavy lately. I mean with the emotions and the breathtaking men and…religion even. This weight happens every now and then.

Last week I went to see Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy. The movie, by the way, was interesting. Very period with a cool pace and if Gary Oldman doesn’t win an Oscar it’s a real shame, but that’s not the point of this post. The entire theatre, at 3:20 when I took my seat, was filled…
The celery at Whole Foods looks awful. Apparently it’s not easy to grow organic celery. I guess I can understand that, with all the layers and no pesticides, bugs could hide anywhere and ruin a crop. That must be what’s happening because there are normally so many stalks to choose from and this week I’ve…
