Letting Girlfriends Go
January 29th, 2007
Most of us know how to deliver breakup news to a bloke: be honest yet tactful and avoid gauche text messages along lines of “IDIVORCEU.”
But what are the rules for breaking up with a girlfriend?

Phatic Gesturing
January 22nd, 2007
I think people working in the service industries in this country have microchips voluntarily imbedded in their brains.
I mean how else do you account for their pervasive use of the phatic gesture, “And how are you today?” Or that other beaut and cheery one: “Have a nice day!”

Kids & Passion
January 15th, 2007
Have you listened to a child lately, taken note as they’ve talked about their dreams and passions?
I didn’t think kids had passions, I knew they had hobbies. I’ve always associated passion with grown ups, more specifically, two grown-ups in hot pursuit of skin-on-skin activity.

New Year Boobs
January 8th, 2007
I had a mammogram last week.
Yep, started out the New Year waiting anxiously in “Radiography” browsing out-of-date mags and watching a woman next to me knit. She must have been nervous too.

This year’s winter Solstice, Friday December 22nd, is shaping up to be a root’n toot’n sexy one!
And why is the shortest day - the day proclaimed by ancient peoples as the day that marks the return of the sun and thus a turning point in the calendar - associated this year with sex?

Where’s the Integrity
December 11th, 2006
Welcome to the future where it’s easy to be in touch, and equally as easy to instantly disconnect from other.

Bond Girl At Any Age
December 4th, 2006
Yesterday I witnessed a very glam, pint-size septuagenarian channeling her inner Bond girl.
At seventy-something, she was solo cross-country skiing, uphill, wearing a gorgeous coordinated ski-outfit with such panache that 007, had he made an appearance, would’ve completed the picture - as the perfect boy-toy companion.

Give a Goat
November 27th, 2006
If I hear one more comment from the media along lines of “the holiday shopping season is off and running,” I think I’ll vomit.
My gut on the verge has nothing to do with the after effects of pigging out last Thursday. However, in the last 4 days I have been overfed subliminal messages suggesting that seasonal deals abound out there.

The Privileged Slim
November 20th, 2006
With The Big Eating Day also known as Thanksgiving just around the corner, I thought I’d talk about fat.
Not turkey fat - since turkey meat doesn’t translate into a heart attach in every bite - but excess body fat, as in obesity.

Cultural Spoofing
November 13th, 2006
Call me crazy, but I have a crush on British comedian, Sacha Baron Cohen!
Lots of girls do, and don’t. That’s because Sacha BC’s most well-known comic personalities, gangster rapper, Ali G, and naïve Kazakhstani, Borat, parody cultural sacred cows.
