Halloween happened and now I’m sad. I’m sad because it’s over. Why can’t we have a week of Halloween? You spend so much time preparing – designing your costume, figuring out your makeup and accessories – that it’s gone before you know it. What’s that you say? You don’t dress up for Halloween? Are you kidding? How can it be that you’re willing to forgo something you loved as a kid just because you’re now a woman (or man) over 40? Here’s what I think: you think it makes you seem immature, right? Well, grow up. There is nothing immature about making believe. Isn’t that exactly what (more…)

One, Two, Three Strikes You’re Bored
Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
Is there anything more boring than baseball? I truly doubt it. Maybe you didn’t have to listen to baseball non-stop when you were a kid, forced to keep quiet on the weekly one hour drive to Jersey City while your father listened intently to the play by play and cursed the missed catches, strike outs and bad calls. My dad, Ang was actually more entertaining than the pontificating sportscasters who filled in the interminable dead time between the rare excitement of a hit with even deader time. You know, even writing about this is boring me. Which brings me to my point: why are we subjected to baseball (and every other possible sport) when we go out to eat? (more…)

Slam – You’re Down
Monday, August 29th, 2011
Remember Slam Books? If you don’t, let me enlighten you.

Breakfast of BBs
Sunday, July 17th, 2011
Guess who cares what I think: Kellogg’s. Really. I’m not kidding. They actually asked me to try two of their high fiber cereals and report to you, my loyal readers, what I thought of them (see: one more benefit to being over 40!). And I thought: boy, are they brave! Have they ever read this blog?
Let me start by admitting (more…)

Don’t Get Hysterical
Sunday, July 10th, 2011
Don’t deny it; you know you do it. You may pretend you don’t, but let’s be honest; you schedule that “special time” with yourself. I don’t care what you call it and I don’t care how you do it. Maybe you don’t have a vibrator at the side of your bed. Maybe you just (more…)
