They Took It All Off

I couldn’t wait for the premier of season 10 of The Talk today. The five women hosts were going on stage with no makeup on. I guess the big question is “Does makeup change who we are?” My first instinctive answer would be “No! Absolutely not!”, said rather indignantly. Clothes and face paint cannot change . . . → Read More: They Took It All Off

Ok Mom, NOW It’s Over!

This weekend my daughter brought her three friends down from Boston and we all had a great time. As they were packing to leave today, my daughter said, “Okay Mom, NOW you can write summer is over. It was too early last week.”

I smile thinking how desolate it was out here last Tuesday, with . . . → Read More: Ok Mom, NOW It’s Over!

One Body, One Life

Yesterday my friend asked me to meet her at her house at 12:45 to go kayaking with her and some other people. I sat there thinking about the invitation for a few minutes. Today I had a 10 am brunch up in Brewster. My friend lives in Falmouth. The two places are practically on either . . . → Read More: One Body, One Life

The Strangest Places

You learn important lessons in the strangest places. While watching the dvr’d version of a soap opera, one thing I’ve observed in the behavior of the characters was the way they stop and pause extra long after being asked a major question or told something really huge that’s going to cause conflict. This very pregnant . . . → Read More: The Strangest Places

The Next Best Thing

I’m reading “The Next Best Thing”, Jennifer Weiner’s newest book. While it’s a slow mover, it is a good story and keeps my interest because the main character is a writer – for TV. It was all very interesting to see how shows are written and then finally make it onto our TV screen, but . . . → Read More: The Next Best Thing

Cape Cod Bear

Ok, this has been a big weekend for Cape Cod. Sunday night, sitting around the campfire, a Facebook friend who lives down the road a piece in Barnstable, posts there's a bear roaming Cape Cod. What? How would a bear get on Cape Cod? We're an island, for God's sake.

As the evening went on, . . . → Read More: Cape Cod Bear

Comcast

Comcast. That’s all I can say, because I don’t believe this. Over the weekend my husband and I decided to join the 21st century and update the TV’s in both our NY apartment and cape house. Both houses still had huge, heavy, tube TV’s that our kids just laugh at. Off we went to Best . . . → Read More: Comcast

An Image of God

Yesterday morning the national news reported that wealthy people are more apt to lie, cheat, and steal than those of us that are not wealthy. Why? Why is that? Don’t they already have it all? This thought crossed my mind, but I let go.

Later in the afternoon I was reading with the tv . . . → Read More: An Image of God

Clarice! Wow!

Most people who know me know that I am well-acquainted with daytime TV, from the morning news, right on through the afternoon talk shows. They yammer away in the background as I go about my business of blogging, editing my book, researching my book, or practicing my daily pencil drawing exercises. Today I was irritated . . . → Read More: Clarice! Wow!

The “Adele of the Ball” Impact

Nicki Minaj’s performance was beyond elaborate and expensive to put on. Yet it was tweeted as “people were outraged” by it. Adele – with just a black dress and a microphone resulted in six Grammys and everyone is enamored with her. Why is that?

I don’t think it’s a judgement of each artist’s style. I . . . → Read More: The “Adele of the Ball” Impact
