I’ve Got Joy, Joy, Joy Down in My Pill Bottle
December 13, 2010
A couple days ago, while going about the always fascinating business of my life, I was overcome with an astonishing sense of well-being. It was as though zen-infused Karo Syrup was oozing throughout my veins. I believed, as I walked along the aisle of Target that I had found the true meaning of life […]

What I did then. What I wouldn’t do now.
November 15, 2010
Although I had no part of the free sex of the 60s, and only slightly more of the more-than-free-but-still cheap drugs of the era, I look back on some of the things I did back then and wonder how I survived. I hitchhiked with my then best friend from Philly to Trenton, so that […]

This Parking Meter Needs A User Manual
October 25, 2010
Two friends and I drove into Washington, DC (newly designated as the 2nd WORSE TRAFFIC CITY in the US) to do the “Walk to End Modern Day Slavery.” DC is the World Mecca for Walks/Runs/Demonstrations/Rallies/Political Motorcades/Tourism/General Mayhem on the Road. There were at least four events happening that day, including an Army 10 Miler. For […]
I’ve Become A Cliche
October 20, 2010
I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning, minding my own business and looking like I do every morning: skimpy tee shirt with no bra (I am, shall we say, well-endowed and I should actually be sleeping in a bra), ratty pajama bottoms, electrified-looking hair. My Now Husband Dan had left to fondle his boat. […]

Why I Don't Collect Things
September 27, 2010
The members of my family were always avid collectors. My grandfather, in addition to collecting wives, used to bring discarded items home from abandoned properties that were undergoing renovation. He was a paperhanger, and he never saw an old item (or a young woman) he didn’t like. My grandmother (actually my step-grandmother and his second […]

Communal Dressing Rooms: Where Dreams Go to Die

I’m just as evolved as the average woman. I’m smart, I’m funny, and I can sing “See You in September” backward. I paint, I write, I can still recite the entire introduction to the old TV show “Superman.” I’d say I have a pretty good self-image, except for two areas of life: finding myself at […]
