I have been listening to Guided Imagery CD’s from Belleruth Naparstek, a psychotherapist, to help me sleep better. Here’s what Belleruth looks like: Perfect, right? So I was in bed a few ...
“I’ll just mosey up Route 17. Why are so many cars honking?” Our Mother Jeanne has always been a bit of a kook. Not for nothing did her children refer to her behind the wheel as ...
As readers of this blog know, our mother Jeanne has had some memory issues of late, which have resulted in my not posting as much, since I am spending more of my free time helping my darling M...
I did something last night that I haven’t done in ages: I went to a dance party. My friend Nancy talked me into it; though honestly, she didn’t have to do too much arm-twisting when she t...
Nobody puts Baby in a corner, Daddy-O. Like Baby’s father said in Dirty Dancing, “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong.” It’s Lena Dunham, not Denham. My deepest apolog...
And THIS is NOT the "new" Carrie Bradshaw. I watched. I shuddered. I can hold my tongue no more. Girls, the heavily promoted new HBO series following the escapades of a quartet of twentysom...
So pretty in the bottle; so scary on the hand. I don’t know whatever happened to Baby Jane, but it seems her hands have landed on my body. I scooped up the latest from L’Oreal: a bottle o...
I took my Pancake to the dog run with a new acquistion: this wonderful mini squeaky tennis ball, perfect for her to hold in her mouth comfortably while she gets her belly rubbed, is humped, and other...
Who can resist the power of frozen Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies? Not I, said the not so little Wiggles. The good news: I’ve kept off 30 or so pounds for over three years. The bad news: The si...
Bob, aka Hef I went to Bob and Jeanne’s this weekend to celebrate Jeanne’s triumphal return from her second visit in as many weeks from Hackensack Hospital. Brother Peter, who̵...
I went to a 50th Birthday party for an old friend with my pal Leighann. There were brownies in the darkened back room. I ate one. Then someone turned up the lights. That’s when I saw the sign: ...
On a quiet Friday afternoon, Miss Pancake came to the office with me. As you might imagine, no work was conducted once her little paws hit the industrial carpet of our office on 3rd Avenue. She was t...

I was on the TODAY show yesterday with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotbe. We were talking about sex. Yeah, just the three of us girls getting down to it on national tv. I don’t want to say that...
Ever ready at the mike, our New Jersey brother calls in to the 1st Annual (Weekly?) Brothers & Sisters Conference Call. The purpose of our teleconference was to brainstorm ways to foist support a...
Only our dear mother could get hospital-grade diarheaa from drinking Coke. I am not sure exactly what it all means quite yet, but it seems that Jeanne decided to quell a nervous stomach by sucking do...
I was with Sassy and Jeanne at the infamous Chit Chat diner, where Jeanne lost Bob a few weeks ago in the parking lot. We were companiably eating our lunch (Jeanne and I had ordered identical meals: ...
Seriously. I hereby decree that the unfortunately unheralded Clothing God Genius who invented the modern elastic waistband deserves unlimited acclaim. Zippers? Buttons? Burning red indentations along...
Why, do you ask? Look at the shoes I just bought: Yep, I bought these Shoes. And I LOVE THEM. They’re Easy Spirits. I had to have something more comfortable to wear on my walk to and from my jo...
What color shall I paint my digits this week? So many choices. I’m ashamed to admit that the array of nail polishes crowded onto that dish represents the winners I kept after getting rid of at ...
Oh, Monsieur! I was paying a shiva call with two friends today. We got into the elevator of a very fancy 5th Avenue building. There was an elevator operator to bring us up to the apartment. My friend...
I hope they have this modified straight jacket in my size. I knew I should have strengthened my core when I had the chance. Hot Pants & I love to do things together, even though we live at opposi...
Pancake Gives Delia a run for her Money Pancake just went to the dog run and played like mad with a pooch named Delia. They went at it for a good 15 minutes with several breaks in between for me to s...
Monday started out as a delightful day. Then I came back from lunch and my stomach started to clench up. By the time I got home from a dinner that featured me turning greener and greener, I knew some...
Here's how I started my week. You know what really annoys me about going to the dentist? You sit there helplessly while they abrade your gums, scrape your tooth enamel, and render you pre...
Here she is, Clooney's Bride! So here’s what happened: my friend Claire (above) went through a period where she would begin her mornings with the following affirmation: “Good ...
There’s no other way to say it. I was carrying a chair down the 3 measly steps in my apartment that lead to the living room. My legs got tangled in the legs of the chair and the next thing I kn...
At a recent party, Pancake was given a few bites of roast beef by one of the guests. She went crazy, she loved it so much. Then she realized that there was even more RB on a platter on the table. She...
It's mostly un-moldy. I think. I don’t want to imply that my husband, The Lord & Master, can be a wee bit picky about what food I toss into his trough, but his report on Monday’s...
