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.
Jane of All Trades
Success is neurologically determined by one’s ability to stay focused on a task. (TNT’s Perception) Now, I don’t know if this is actually scientific theory, or if the writer of TNT’s Perception made up something that sounded like it could make a good theory (it does). Whatever the reality, the quote struck me. I
Even When You’re Dating, You’re Not Dating
My friend is back in the dating game for the first time in a while, and she’s doing it here in Los Angeles. Needless to say, from the moment she began this process, I’ve been fascinated. Because I literally do not know people who date here, I thought this would be a terrific experiment in
Oooh a Party
There is a group of people down in the pool having fun right now. It’s the kind of loud fun that you think is a blast at 22 and find annoying at 42 (or 43, or 44, or 45, or…). They are playing a version of Marco Polo that I can only assume will ultimately
Humor on a Sunday
For me, there is no doubt: forgetting everything.
Pervs
Periodically, I like to check out how people find my blog. Most of the time I get referrals from other sites or direct links. Occasionally, people find me because Google or Bing has a sense of humor. With that in mind, I give you the search terms that brought you people to me this week:
I See a Pattern
I’ve heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result (except when playing the lottery).

For today, the number represents change—more specifically, three changes over time. Confused yet? Good. It’s a Monday, and we need to shake off the residual
Seeking Some Fashion Answers
These are the fashion questions I want answers to today. Please consult your experts (or Wikipedia). Are there any police officers or detectives reading this blog? This question is for you, particularly if you are female. When you go out into a dangerous situation on the job, do you routinely wear only a tight tank
The Pros and Cons of Dating
Two of my friends are now actively dating. Both situations came about through online approaches, and it has been an interesting process for me to watch. Last night, one of those women met a man who also wants to find me a date. Interesting. Let’s put aside the fact that no one who has ever
Clear it Out
I’m going though another of those periods that I like to refer to as the “white phase.” No, I’m not only eating white foods or wearing white clothing (please, that would last two seconds before I had food or debris stains everywhere). This is more of an “I-really-need-to-get-rid-of-all-my-old-stuff-and-start-over” kind of thought process. I’ve done this
