    WHEN THE TRUTH HURTS

    WHEN THE TRUTH HURTS Yesterday I got a call from a life-long friend. I had asked her to read the first draft of a screenplay – the first screenplay I had ever written. I knew that she had lots of experience with this sort of thing, so I knew that her opinion would be valuable.

    THINGS THAT DON’T WORK

    THINGS THAT DON’T WORK – EVEN THOUGH THEY SHOULD Right now my whole house stinks of vinegar. I am in the process of trying to save our cast iron skillet. You see, it was one of my favorite pans a couple of weeks ago. And I thought, well, maybe I should season it again. For

    THE RAVELED SLEEVE OF CARE

    THE RAVELED SLEEVE OF CARE It was one of those nights. First, I fell asleep on the sofa watching TV at 8:00 p.m. At 9:00 p.m. Art woke me up and gently guided me toward the bedroom. Like a sleepy child, I just managed brush my teeth and then gratefully slid under the covers. I

    SUNDAY AT THE BIG BOX STORE

    SUNDAY AT THE BIG BOX STORE I played hooky yesterday from just about everything. I forced myself to do a couple of loads of laundry just so I wouldn’t sit up all night chastising myself for general sloth. Among other wild goose chases yesterday, Art and I went to a “big box” home improvement store.

    SOMETHING TO PONDER

    I’ve heard that work expands to fill the time available (or something like that – Remind me to get a Bartlett’s Book of Quotations so that I don’t mangle these axioms and I can tell you who said it). Anyway, this morning was a case in point. Because Thursdays are mostly taken up by my

    WHY I CAN NEVER REMEMBER ANYTHING

    WHY I CAN NEVER REMEMBER ANYTHING My husband and I take a walk through our neighborhood every day. That’s how we keep ourselves from falling apart. Yesterday during our walk, I saw that a neighbor had some beautiful orange tulips in bloom. Immediately, my “inner D.J.” (as my sister refers to this mechanism) starting playing

    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

    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

    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

    MODERN LIFE

    Please forgive me. I’m not my sweet self today. I am going through voice mail hell this morning. You see, back in September Art and I were on vacation in Connecticut. Among other reasons, we were there to cheer on my brother-in-law, who was undergoing surgery. While we were cheering him on just after the
