I’m Late, I’m Late
Rabbit’s ditty from Alice in Wonderland has been running through my mind for weeks now. More like “I’m behind, I’m behind…” but I guess that’s not as catchy. I’m on the proverbial hamster wheel of life. Every weekend feels like … Continue reading

Matchmaker, Matchmaker Make Me a Match…
In High School I played Tzeitel in our production of “Fiddler on The Roof.” She’s the one that gets married. Somehow my principal was also in the musical and at some point I sat on his lap. In retrospect, … Continue reading

On the T.V. screen, two black towers rising up between the broadcasters’ heads against an impossibly hopeful bright blue sky. A gash in the side of one from which a torrent of black smoke gushed forth. I called my friend Steven … Continue reading

Et Tu?
It started over the Labor Day Weekend. Magazines hit the stands with commemorative anniversary editions. NY1 seems to running heart-wrenching stories on a 24/7 loop. Even while making a grocery run to get ingredients for vegan lasagna Tuesday evening I was … Continue reading
Decorating, with cat (s)
As I’ve stated previously, I do not believe people need abandon their personal sense of style just because they are cat-lovers. I want my apartment to announce itself to friends, family and suitors with a resounding, “Hello, an independent sophisticated … Continue reading
Ready or not here I come!
I’m on a Washington, DC bound Amtrak train to BlogPaws and I’m definately not ready. See for yourself. So much for my grand plan of being packed the night before, getting a pedicure (I brought all closed toe shoes), maybe … Continue reading

Furry Duty
Sorry to disappoint those of you who, upon reading the title of this post, hoped for a story of yet another a cat being called to jury duty (seems to occur way too frequently don’t you think?). Rather this is about my … Continue reading

Unexpected Valentine
Ah, it’s that time of year again. The time when restaurants overcharge love birds and single women either stay in drinking vats of wine or go out in large groups to “take back the night.” Last year, because of my … Continue reading

2011: Refinements Not Resolutions
Today is the reason I’m not a huge fan of New Year’s resolutions. And by today I mean December 31st of any year. It’s the day you’re forced to remember what you resolved to do 12 months ago and be … Continue reading
