Do you love your dog? Now imagine hating him. Yeah, I know. I can’t either. But there are people who do. People who don’t like dogs to the point of abusing them. Now, not everyone who is not a dog lover is bad. Some people prefer cats. I happen to like both. But what is it about the people who simply don’t like animals?
What the hell is wrong with them?

Today I’d like to look at one of my favorite pastimes and a pastime enjoyed and even revered throughout the world by all . . . dancing. And I want to look at it from from the perspective of American men. Which is to say, from the sidelines. Why is it that we seem to be the only culture whose men either avoid or openly disdain dancing? Not all men, of course. But in this culture, dancing is just not considered cool. Just look around on any dance floor. Men are outnumbered, 6 to 1 at least. What is the matter with them? Read the rest of this entry »

Some people have accused me of hating men. Au contraire. In fact, some of my favorite ****** have been men (fill in the blank). I simply am – as a woman well over 40 – acutely aware of the differences between the genders. And I feel it’s my job to point them out, in the manner in which I am most comfortable. Which, quite often, sounds derogatory but, if you know me (and you should, by now), you know I’m just being little old sarcastic me.

If you’re a woman – or a man – over 40, you’ve hopefully embraced the latest technologies so that you aren’t completely cut off from the rest of the world.

And that means being ignored for a smart phone.
And they call this being more connected? Read the rest of this entry »

I know it’s quite popular to denigrate Europe, and especially the French (even though they were right about Saddam Hussein and his non-WMDs. . . but that’s another story). But you know what we’ve been noticing since we arrived here in France? First of all, the people are really friendly. Especially when you try (and butcher) speaking the language. Oh, the baker at the local patisserie was so happy to help me! And their economy? Doing quite well, by the way, despite the call by some to boycott French products.
But the most amazing thing to us is simply how clean everything is. Read the rest of this entry »
