Remember a few years back when Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction gave the youth of America a glimpse of her breast? People went bananas. “Our kids saw that!” They cried. And the courts fined CBS for broadcasting the flash of flesh. But right now, there are any number of video games that encourage players to beat [...]

My Kids are Learning Curse Words in School. From their Teachers.
Posted in education, Kids, Parenting, Rants, tagged curse words, foul language and kids, Purberty Ed, Sex ed on February 4, 2011 | 7 Comments »
My daughter came home from school the other day with a very important question: “Why would anyone call a vagina a p***y?” “Where did you hear that word?” I wanted to know. “Puberty Ed.” The fifth graders at my kids’ uber-expensive private school have started what used to be called Sex Ed, but is now [...]
Cold: A Freezing Slice of NYC Life
Posted in Family, Rants, tagged Bus Stops, New York Weather, Rude adults on February 3, 2011 | 3 Comments »
It has been so cold in New York this week that the bagel I bought for the kids from our usual guy on the corner was filled with frozen cream cheese. Luckily, the kids still have some baby teeth. Cause they totally could have lost one. This morning, with all that miserable ice and the [...]

Not Me. Not my kid. But look! She’s a mom!

Posted in Rants, tagged critiquing work, editors, writing game reviews on November 30, 2010 | 4 Comments »
What do you do when you get a snide, condescending rejection letter from an editor? You blog about it, that’s what you do. The other day, I submitted a piece to a site and – for the first time in my 20+ year writing career, it was rejected. (Although I was once fired from Sally [...]

Posted in Humor, Laughs, Rants, Reviews, Travel, tagged Bernadette Peters, Broadway Show etiquette, Night Music on Broadway, what to do at a Broadway show on August 16, 2010 | 62 Comments »
A few weeks ago my fellow blogger and Blogging Angel, Rebecca Levey from Beccarama.com, took me to see A Little Night Music on Broadway. Catherine Zeta Jones starred in the cast of this revival when it opened. And after seeing her inexplicably Tony winning, bird-trapped-in-a-plastic-bag body language performance of Send in the Clowns on the [...]

I got a lot of hits (nearly 3000), a [...]
