My Letter to Fear
Based on interviews with women, these essays about life (and all of its funny, sad and ridiculous aspects) were published in 2014.
Cough. Wheeze. Cough.
I started to show signs of illness by Friday morning. I steadfastly refused to believe it. I took allergy meds and blamed sleeping in front of a fan. Even Friday night when my voice was all but gone, the coughing had started and the fever set in, I refused to deal with it. Alas, by
The Giveaway
I think we need to radically shake up the dating world. I know what you are thinking: she’s going to urge widespread abstinence until people get back to actual relationships rather than random sex. No. Well, yes, but not right now. I’m thinking that we need a benevolent dating guru to create a massive blind
EX (IT) Wounds
One of the big perks of writing this blog is that I get introduced to some very entertaining and talented people and projects in Los Angeles. EX (IT) WOUNDS is exactly that kind of project. EX (IT) WOUNDS grew out of a real life love disaster (What??? Those never happen!). Rather than digging into an
Time for a Game
Today we are going to play a game. It’s called, “Where would you rather be?” It’s very simple. You just comment (or email me) with the name of the place (and the activity if you keep it PG-13) of where you would rather be and what you would rather be doing. This is really a
Moving Castles in the Sky

I thought there could be hundreds (or thousands) or one category: “Single.” But no! There are 12. Naturally, I couldn’t resist clicking on the article and finding out my
PositiveMed
I saw this posted on Facebook by PositiveMed (go look them up and “like” them), and I wanted to get your thoughts. This is easy: play lottery. If I could not fail, playing the lottery sounds like a pretty good choice (though I’m sure I wouldn’t be the only one making that choice, and
The Flirt
I’m on set today pretending to walk down a Chicago street in late autumn (good thing it’s only 80 today). I feel like I’ve done extensive prep for this by living in the Midwest for 20 plus years. You’ll be thrilled to know I still have an extensive winter wardrobe for just this occasion (or
Commercials Speak to Me
Have you seen this Old Spice commercial? It aired fairly frequently during football on Sunday, and it caught my attention. Pen and I agreed that it was brilliant, that we needed to at least work up to being guest stars in our own lives and that we had no idea how to do
Some FAQ About Me
Because I’ve been fortunate to gain many new readers in the last few months, I thought I would repost and update this FAQ as sort of an introduction. Who am I? Read below to find out all you’ve ever wanted to know (or at least what I’m willing to tell you today) about me. *****
