As of last night, I am no longer allowed to write about my son. Though I suppose reporting this new development counts as writing about him, so I apologize, and promise this will be the very last time. Probably. I guess I always knew this day would come: the day my kids realize that all [...]

Quite Possibly the best Wordless Wednesday Ever: South African Dancers
Posted in Uncategorized on January 12, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Wordless Wednesday — not music-less. And FYI: these are the Thabang Dancers from the Kayaleisha township in Capetown giving a special performance for me and my family. In Xhosa, Thabang means Happiness. You bet.

Cape Town is a wonderful, beautiful, city. And I don’t feel we saw even a fraction of there was to see. We missed Robben Island, and the District Six Museum, we didn’t see the Aquarium. But we did love it. Still, I had the feeling, always, of being in an unusually beautiful and tropical European [...]

Lots of college students spend a year abroad. I spent two years as a broad. In Paris, in my twenties. And lately, I’ve been reminiscing all about it. See, I’m planning a trip to Paris next spring with my mother and my daughter. And it’s been so long since I’ve been there. And I SO [...]
My Big Fat Summer
Posted in Beauty, Exercise, Uncategorized, Weight, tagged gaining weight in the summer, those extra ten pounds on August 27, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The day before yesterday I left my parents’ country house and drove into the city where the first thing I did, as usual, was weigh myself. Way to ruin my day. At least it’s blog fodder, I thought. I can write about how everyone always talks about how easy it is to lose weight in [...]

Bartendaz. Can you Hang?

I went up to Harlem yesterday and saw something amazing: The Bartendaz. These guys do things on a pull up bar you’ve never seen before. The strength is amazing, the camaraderie infectious, the feats: totally unbelievable. The Bartnedaz are a group of the buffest, toughest looking guys you’ll ever see…who also happen to be all [...]

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