The other day, there was a study that reported that watching over two hours of television per day increased one’s risk of death. I hate to get all caught up in the details, but the risk of death is 100%. I’m going to just go ahead and assume that the study meant premature death. Speaking […]
A New Kind of Groundhog Day!
May 16, 2011 by
Friday evening my husband came home late from his golf game to find me on the couch in my pajamas, halfway through both a bottle of wine and the pilot episode of NYPD Blue. “Hi sweetie,” I said happily, as if I hadn’t seen this episode many times before, “Sipowicz got shot! Oooh, look: You […]
Friday the 13th, and Privilege Problems
May 14, 2011 by
I just realized, now, that it is Friday the 13th! Maybe that explains things, and by things I mean my state of crossness and irritability, although I really think that my attitude is more likely attributed to my lack of sleep and excessive worry due to my son having pneumonia, rather than the date.

Groundhogs, The Bachelor and male pattern baldness.
February 2, 2011 by
Certain special days do not translate well for everyone. For example, Robbie Burns Day – does anyone who is not of Scottish heritage really want to eat haggis and listen to bagpipes? I’m half Scottish and I certainly don’t want to – or President’s Day, which does not carry over very well to countries that […]
Warning: This Post Written Under The Influence
January 29, 2011 by
I am having one of those days where I seem to be on the go and busy all day, but investigation of the activities that have kept me on the go and busy all day is completely boring and depressing: I spent an hour grocery shopping and half that time putting the groceries away, I […]
