Valentine cards, birthday cards, pen-pal letters– few of these come in the mail anymore. I feel like Charlie Brown going to an empty mailbox. Sigh. Actually, that isn’t totally true. I do get bills. And I don’t mean “I’m just a bill, yes I’m only a bill, and I’m sitting here on Capitol […]
“We Are Family, I got all my sisters with me. Get up everybody and sing!” Go, Sister Sledge!! (Where are they now?)
Family is something so powerful, so encompassing, so-ah, complicated. The Partridge Family never had major conflict even though the show started on the premise of the death of Mr. Partridge. Wait a […]
“Pregnant?” Have you ever asked a person if she was pregnant, only to learn that well… she isn’t! This is when if you had a tail, you would curl it between your legs. What’s even worse is if the person you asked is a man… well, unless it’s the pregnant man on Oprah. […]
Invisible patients are like bloggers who think they know everything and get to hide behind an anonymous computer screen to spew out anything. An invisible patient is like someone who wants a free refill on their drink but has already left the restaurant, someone who wants their annual state inspection sticker without bringing […]
Do doctors make the worst patients? I’m sitting in my hotel room in Utah with ice on my elevated right knee. Torn ACL, chipped bone on my tibia, and possible torn lateral collateral ligament. Yippee, everybody dance now!
After skiing for four fabulous days, I fell at Snowbird while doing nothing and twisted my knee. […]
George Washington never told a lie.
“Father, I cannot tell a lie. I cut down the cherry tree.”
When Abraham Lincoln was our president, he was called honest Abe. Wow! And this was before TV shows like Leave It to Beaver and The Donna Reed Show where everyone was so ethical. I’m so glad all […]
Gilligan’s Island was on for only three seasons, but with all the re-runs it seems like it was on for at least 10 years. Even as a kid, I wanted to “vote off” Gilligan as if it were Survivor. They could have been rescued a million times-unlike the folks trapped on Lost-but nooooooooo, Gilligan […]

Vancouver–my kind of town! Why didn’t Frank Sinatra sing something about this magnificent city? Maybe we can get Canadian crooner Michael Buble to spin a song about this Pacific Northwest gem.
I recently spent eight days in downtown Vancouver, and I only heard a car honk once (unlike NYC where cars honk as if they […]

Barbra Streisand sang, “Memories, like the corners of my mind…” in the movie The Way We Were. And then she puts her hand on Robert Redford’s face to say goodbye. Okay, I’m all verklempt.
Can we talk? What in the world was she thinking? You don’t say goodbye to Robert Redford. You cling, and plead, […]
The Color Purple is one of my favorite books and movies of all time. In the movie, I was introduced to Whoopi Goldberg and someone you probably have heard of: Oprah Winfrey. Whew! She was a tornado of strength and emotions.
During the announcement of “Best Female Actress in a Supporting Role” at the Oscars, I […]
