    PLAYING HOOKY

    PLAYING HOOKY Of course, one good thing about having a cold is that nobody expects anything of you. Let’s just say, for example, you’re expected to show up at an annual Christmas gathering where you’ve never felt entirely comfortable. Well, you can call the host and plead infirmity. Voila! You’re off the hook! (If there

    WINTER COLDS

    WINTER COLDS My father-in-law gets a cold every winter like clockwork. If you ask him how he feels some time between December and March, he will inevitably say, “Oh, I’ve got my winter cold”. It’s not exactly that he likes having a cold in winter; it’s just that he expects it. We develop a strange,

    LET’S HEAR IT FOR SILENT ARGUMENTS

    LET’S HEAR IT FOR SILENT ARGUMENTS I had a silent argument with my husband today. What is that? Well, it goes something like this: He does or says something that evokes an emotional response in me. I get angry. But instead of lashing out the way I would have twenty or thirty years ago, I

    A WORD ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS – ANOTHER ONE

    A WORD ABOUT THE HOLIDAYS (ANOTHER ONE) I just got off the phone with my sister. We were comparing notes about our progress with the holiday madness. Both of us have been having the same experience. We have a list. We are organized. We go down our gift lift methodically. We buy a thoughtful gift

    A JOURNEY TO THE LADIES ROOM

    A JOURNEY TO THE LADIES ROOM Have you been in a public restroom lately? I have been fascinated for the past year or two by the changes in our public restrooms. Granted, I have only been in the women’s facilities, but I can only guess that the men’s rooms have been similarly updated. The first

    Catalog Fantasies

    I was leafing through yet another catalog the other day – L.L. Bean? Land’s End? J. Crew – No, I don’t get J. Crew – I don’t know. They all start to look the same – Meaning no disrespect to the creative people who dreamt up all those charming little accoutrements, but here’s the thing:

    PACKING

    Within forty-eight hours Art and I will be on a (gulp) plane bound for Connecticut. I am doing what I always do – vowing that I will not wait until the last minute to pack. Mentally taking stock of what we’ll need, and realizing that no matter what I take or don’t take, it will

    ONE OF THOSE DAYS

    It’s going to be one of those days. You know the kind of day where you just get up with all of the energy and get-up-and-go in the world and you think to yourself, “This is the day I’m really going to get a lot done. Today is the first day of the rest of

    A TON OF PREVENTION

    Just a quick thought. I wish I had a nickel for every medication, supplement, nostrum, and bottle of snake oil I have ever bought in my life, only to find out either: 1) it doesn’t work, or 2) it makes you sick. Every time a commercial comes on TV for one of those medicines, I

    HEAVING ON A JET PLANE

    In honor of our forthcoming trip, I thought I would share some of my sentiments about flying: HEAVING ON A JET PLANE (WITH DEEP APOLOGIES TO JOHN DENVER) OH MY BAGS ARE PACKED – THEY SAY I MUST GO I’M HANGING ON TO MY FRONT DOOR ALREADY I’M TOO TERRIFIED TO CRY BUT THE DAWN
