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.
Who Do They Have?
Out of curiosity, who are the television/film role models for teen and tween girls? Are there young characters out there that are smart and honorable… and clothed? When I was quite young, I wanted to be Nancy Drew. Grant it, she did seem to have some very cute Hardy boy friends, but it was the
Brief Injury Update
I just injured myself lying in an inert lump. I was completely motionless while watching a baseball game. When…WHAMO…I got a cramp in my foot. No seriously, it was a blinding pain, almost as though my foot picked up on the vague suggestion of movement brought on by my breathing. I’m fairly certain the end
How the…
I have broken my ass. I don’t mean I danced it off. I don’t mean I’ve been working it off. I don’t mean I’ve busted my butt to accomplish something. No metaphors here. I have broken my ass. And I don’t know how. For the last couple of weeks, I’ve noticed a persistent tailbone ache.
They’re Stealing What?

NSFW: Only in LA
I’m a prude. Rather than pretend otherwise, I’m just going to embrace my more brilliant, uptight qualities. I still blush. I’ll still exclaim “Oh, my” when I see things like the full frontal shots in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” (although, Jason, you are a brave man with nothing to be ashamed of—well done.) Having said all
Dating by Michael Scott
For those of you who did not see The Office last night, this quote will make no sense. But I think it pretty much sums up my thoughts on being single, as well: “I like it. I like starting each day with a sense of possibility. I’m optimistic, because every day I get a little
A Dinner Dare
Please enjoy the following excerpt of a conversation I had with my male friend, O, about bidding on a charity auction to have dinner with David Duchovny and Nick Lea (it’s loosely reconstructed, but you’ll get the idea). O: “$4,000 for dinner? “ K: “Yes. But it’s for charity.” O: “$4,000 for dinner??????” K: “Yes.”
Quick, Call a Doctor!
Arguably, my most successful relationship, certainly in the last few years, has been with television programming. My TV shows and I are very close. I’ve been through the ups and the downs: plane crashes, mysterious islands, surprise pregnancies for a barren mother, abductions, demon possessions, vampires and amnesia—and those were just my own personal issues
Auto Trader Commercial?
Has anyone else seen the new Autotrader.com commercial? The commercial takes place in a bar. A lovely woman goes up to a guy and introduces herself. The guy immediately asks her how old she is. She replies, uncomfortably, that she is 37. And that’s the end of the conversation. He tells her that he’s looking
