For She’s A Jolly Good Thingirl

Posted on July 18, 2017 by

When my friend Joan asked if I was excited about my birthday I said, oh yes, so much so, I’m draping black crepe along the windows like when Lincoln died. Excuse me while I start on the mirrors. It’s not … Continue reading →

Why Holly Golightly Was Not Meant To Get Old

Posted on June 28, 2017 by

I have a birthday coming up we’re not celebrating. When I think there was a time I looked forward to my special day, it seems comical.  As a kid, birthdays were treated like national holidays making you wonder why banks … Continue reading →

When The Lettuce Turns

Posted on June 18, 2017 by

There’s an Italian expression my grandmother liked, when lettuce ceases to be edible…fachadda…meaning, the leaves are dead, shriveled…salad history, if you will. I had a week that left me, let’s just say, fachadda, in every area. It began with a job…a good … Continue reading →

The Chin and I

Posted on June 14, 2017 by

What happened to the days when buying a raffle ticket meant, you won a car or a trip to Spain? I, on the other hand, after shelling out ten bucks for a good cause, won a free consultation with a … Continue reading →

Things I don’t Understand

Posted on April 30, 2017 by

 Donald Trump’s hair.  Why can’t something be done?  We can land a man on the moon, but a new strain of mousse cannot be developed. How my neighbor’s cat ends up in the hall.  It’s not that I mind Patrick … Continue reading →

Old Models Never Die…They Just Hop A Cab To Their Plastic Surgeon

Posted on December 1, 2016 by

My face and I had a meeting that didn’t go too well.  We met in the bathroom in front of a three-way mirror to consult what has turned into Pompeii of the lower regions. My chin is headed south like … Continue reading →

Tits On The Bar

Posted on November 17, 2016 by

I used to be quite the femme fatale, though no longer, having retired my phone number like an all-star who plays no more. When I hit, I’d say, 58, I no longer had an interest in being the seductress, though … Continue reading →

Tennis At The Bar

Posted on August 28, 2016 by

The amount of material at ones fingertips is staggering, encouraging you to write essays all day,  just by logging in the miles of inappropriate behavior. It’s Sunday, or No Worry Sunday, as it’s come to be called, where I dispense … Continue reading →

Birthday Blues

Posted on July 10, 2016 by

 When did birthdays become so bleak? Mine is approaching and I’m thinking of holding a wake.  Sitting Shiva might even be better since it goes on for a week.  Another reason to want to be Jewish. When I was small, … Continue reading →

Happy Birthday Camille

Posted on June 17, 2016 by

I haven’t written about my glamorous pal lately, because I haven’t seen her, not since becoming besotted with a Cuban named Edmundo. It’s a pity when women get involved with a man, how they abandon everything else, like a heroin … Continue reading →
