Mornin’
There’s no chance that I stayed up all night last night reading a trashy novel and eating an entire party size bar of chocolate in bed. Okay, there’s a slight chance. There’s also a slim chance that when I stumbled … Continue reading
Shameless Confessions of a Tactless Yogi
I do yoga. There. I said it out loud. See, the thing is, I wouldn’t go to yoga if I could help it. If I could find another way to eliminate the chronic pain in my neck and shoulders, help … Continue reading

Teenagers and War
How do you teach children about war? In all cases a herculean task, I think that American parents have it both harder and easier than so many other cultures. Easier, because whichever path we choose, it’s voluntary for us to … Continue reading
Definitely Miss Adventure (Day 3)
I hope that you don’t mind, but I have to skip over the monotony of the end of the second day. Yes, there were a few succulent tidbits–sitting all afternoon in a passenger terminal with eight Air Force K-9 dogs … Continue reading

Mis? Adventure? (Day 2)
Yesterday’s dawn brought mixed feelings–Friday’s notices had shown three flights headed to Spain with room for passengers. Saturday morning, the notice changed and there was one flight with only sixteen spaces. Kevin popped into the terminal before breakfast to check … Continue reading

A New Adventure
Sometimes I get a hankering for an adventure. You know what I’m talking about, right? A deep itch for something different? Not a vacation. The word “vacation” infers that daily life has worn a rut in my soul and I … Continue reading

Of COURSE…….
I spent ten minutes this morning chasing a fly around the kitchen. Mostly, I was chasing the little bugger because my dog wouldn’t leave it alone and having a 160 pound dog storming all over my tiny kitchen trying to … Continue reading

Making New Friends. . . and My Boobs in a Bathing Suit
I have a new friend, I think. As a child, it’s easy to tell when another kid becomes your friend. Really, it is the instant that you make eye contact with each other and one of you doesn’t stick your … Continue reading
Glue Boogers and Other Important Miscellany
May we speak for a moment about a few issues that are really important to me? I know, I know, this is a SOCIAL medium, not a SERIOUS one, but honestly, I need a forum for soapboxing and today, this … Continue reading
Life Hacks for Lazy Chicks (24)
You know how, every once in a while you drop something behind the stove and, when you move the stove out, you want to die because it’s pretty much the grossest thing that ever happened? Well, I made a promise … Continue reading
My Dog Takes Drugs
While we were on vacation, Peri developed diabetes. She’s pretty much the most housebroken dog that you’ve ever met so an accident is pretty telling, but our worry does nothing to change the fact that when a 165 pound dog … Continue reading

The Black Spot and How I Became a Surgeon
It had been going on for a few weeks. I had a knife in my foot. I knew it as surely as I knew the nose on my face. My preference with all things medical is to pretend that they … Continue reading
A Basement Full of Brains (The Cushing Collection at Yale)
There is no publicity, no markings, no signs. Not even an arrow. To find this place, you have to drive to New Haven, Connecticut and find the Yale Medical School, then the Library that is specific to it. If you … Continue reading
PEZ Visitor Center, Orange CT (Review)
Alright, let’s, for a minute, remove the “jugular candy” portion of this tale (I know, buzzkill) and focus on the bigger story–the marketing genius behind the world’s lamest candy product. PEZ was originally invented in Austria in 1927 by a … Continue reading
Tales From the Dreadmill March 6, 2015
I have this theory….that someone should invent running tights with hair removing lasers in them, running shoes with pumice heel cups and electrolyte water with tooth bleach in it. Then, when I have to run every day, I can get … Continue reading
A Weekend in NYC
I love New York City like a child loves a carnival. I await a trip there bouncing with anticipation and giddy elation. The second I arrive, I stare in wide eyed wonder at every little thing, trying to soak it … Continue reading
Dear John (Berendt)–Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
Dear John (Berendt), This started as a letter to let you know why I was leaving you. Our torrid affair started innocently enough, after all, I love the movie version of our story. If I squint my eyes while watching … Continue reading
Nordstrom and the “Lost Touch”
Nordstrom sent me an email just now telling me “The Ten Things I Need for Spring.” I am sending this reply to the great interweb world because Nordies doesn’t like it when you ‘reply’ to their emails. Dear Norders, I … Continue reading
Treadmill Bleaching
Confession-I clean the treadmill with a bleach wipe before and after I use it. I know that this doesn’t seem like a weird trait. After all, we’re all supposed to do this, right? Except that I mean MY treadmill. The … Continue reading
