I would say I am not addictive by nature. I would also say that motherhood has completely shredded my attention span to the point where I can’t sit still during an entire program. I watch Dancing With the Stars on my DVR when I can, and then I can get up and dance with my [...]

Not a term you hear too much anymore. I don’t know whether it’s fallen out of fashion or it’s become so de rigeur that people don’t even use it anymore.
Saw it on AOL: Danny Bonaduce, 50, proposes to 26 year old girlfriend.
I wanted to get her home phone number, so we could have a heart [...]
Fat Kids

I must have watched the movie “Stand By Me” at least 20 times as a teenager. Coming of age movie, Stephen King, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Jerry O’ Connell as the “fat kid” (now grown up and married to a Victoria’s Secret model). It came on TV the other day…the leech part. I watched, and [...]

OK, so I am a singer in a band. Drums (a mic in each) behind me, a bassist who plays harder as the night goes on, a guitarist who needs a 12-step program to stop turning up during the evening and a keyboard player who is competitive with all of them. One would think I [...]
Fat and Skinny Had a Race

Apparently the concept of “fat” has entered my five year old son’s awareness.
I blame myself.
He stretched out his Playdoh yesterday and asked me, “are skinny people stronger?” It seemed like a weird question. I answered, “Not necessarily. Muscular people are stronger.” Somewhere he had decided that skinny people were stronger than fat people. Now, I [...]
