World Cup vs. Work. Do The Math.

In America, The World Series is not really a world anything–although some could argue that teams are made up of players from all over the world, but that would be lame…and teams from Canada do not exactly spell global. Only in the U.S. would we be brash enough to call it a WORLD Series, as […]

Have you ever had days so hectic and freaking uncoordinated that you’ve felt you had have some form of A.D.D–or just wanted to take a big ol’ nap? Do you say the same thing every day: From now on, I’m going to be organized. I’m going to turn over a new leaf–I will be the […]

The Big Apple vs. The Big Tennis Ball

For the many years I worked in Manhattan, I can honestly say I was the late ’90’s version of Carrie Bradshaw and Co. (In a city the size of New York…)
Since I am a self-described chef/bar/restaurant groupie, I knew all the hot spots before they opened…I was an absolute ace at snaggiing a bar stool, […]

Aqua Man vs. Spaceship girl

Whenever I see my significant other’s computer screensaver, I marvel. Not really marvel as ponder: see, his is an underwater seascape and mine is a scene of the galaxy. Aren’t the metephors just jumping out at you?

Can you interpret my dream?

I have been having a recurring dream, or rather nightmare — and I can’t figure out what it means. If there is someone among you who knows anything about dream interpretation, I would love to hear your opinion.

Toys At The Office

Well, haven’t yet started my heroic attempt at fixing things around the house myself, as I said I would. The first DIY project was to have been the exerior molding of my dining room windows…which have become embarrassingly decrepit in the last 2 years.

E-mail ettiquette

Someone help me to understand something. HOW, in this age of communication overload — i.e., phones from which you can download music, movies..send (the obnoxious) text messages, oh–and make phone calls…it is possible for people to ignore you when you send them an e-mail??

Home Improvement: A New Series of DIY Experiments

Do you know the old “how many so & so’s does it take to screw in a light bulb” joke?
Well, in my case it takes a guy named Mark and his team of workers from myhandyman.com. Yard needs cleaning, it’s landscape guy. Faucet leaks, it’s plumber guy. Curtains hung, it window treatment guy…painting guy, electrical […]
