    HAIR TODAY

    HAIR TODAY If you want to truly embarrass a woman, make her witness a cavalcade of photographs of her hair styles going back to childhood and proceeding forward to present day. (That is, if you don’t care whether you ever see her again or not). My sister and I were talking yesterday about this. We

    REJIGGERMENT

    REJIGGERMENT As I write this morning, I am seated at my desk wearing pink fuzzy slippers, a long flannel nightgown, and my pink fuzzy robe. It is almost nine o’clock, and my bed hasn’t been made, the breakfast dishes are still in the sink, and I have not yet had a shower. Outside, I can

    GREED, LUST, ENTITLEMENT, VANITY & FEAR

    GREED, LUST, ENTITLEMENT, VANITY & FEAR Because my husband and I watch a lot of television, we are forced to watch a lot of commercials. Even though most of the time we remember to mute the sound, the pictures shout out to us, loud and clear. We started a little experiment the other night. We

    LOST IN SPACE

    LOST IN SPACE No, I’m not talking about the television show. I’m talking about my own tendency to lose everything I touch. My husband and I laugh together about my “visio-spatial impairment”. He thinks it’s cute – thank God. I laugh because, if I didn’t, I’d cry. It came to mind this morning because my

    SUNSHINE

    SUNSHINE We’ve been enduring five days of non-stop rain here in Southern California. Some communities were flooded. There was a huge landslide yesterday in a tiny town near the ocean just south of Santa Barbara. There were several fatalities and people are still missing in the rubble. A house not too far from us in

    HENRY

    HENRY As we speak, our cat, Henry, is sitting on my desk. He is a black and white “tuxedo” kitty, and even though we will celebrate his tenth birthday this year, he still has the air of a kitten; playful, mischievous, and affectionate. We were extremely lucky with Henry. He was the last of a

    SINGING IN THE STUDIO

    SINGING IN THE STUDIO Today I’m going to be singing in the studio. (That is, God willin’ and the crik don’t rise). It’s been raining relentlessly for about three days, and there’s a leak in the vocal booth, so I guess as long as I don’t stand in a puddle and touch the microphone at

    WHAT EVIL LURKS?

    WHAT EVIL LURKS? So, I’m making the bed this morning, just like I do every morning, and of course, I have the television on because (as we all know) I’m a television junkie. I’m not even paying attention to the movie that’s on, when a commercial cuts in. It’s a commercial for a “thriller” –

    THE OPPOSITE OF WAR

    THE OPPOSITE OF WAR A couple of days ago Art and I were watching one of the many news reports about relief efforts in the areas affected by the tsunamis. There was a young man on the screen, a marine who had been a warrior in Iraq earlier, and now was involved in the gigantic

    ATONEMENT IN JANUARY

    ATONEMENT IN JANUARY In the Jewish faith, we have a Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). It is celebrated in September some time. I always have a hard time scraping up enough sins in the early autumn to make for a meaningful experience. I think we ought to move Yom Kippur to January and make it
