My Cousin Jane
I have a creative, idiosyncratic family. My two teenage sons are budding filmmakers, I have two close cousins in rock bands that actually make CD's, and every family gathering feels like a craft fair (jewelry makers, glassblowers, weavers, fimo-clay experts). One of my favorite cousins is a...

Chocolate Covered WHAT?
It's that time of year again; chocolates and roses, roses and chocolates. I'm lucky if I get a card, but then again it's Valentine's Day EVERY day in my house. Awwwwww. So, I'm reading in New York Magazine about various chocolatiers who devise concoctions to get the heartbeat going. There are the...

The Joys of Over 50
For many, many years, if something came up during my annual physical, the doc would say; "don't worry about it. It's generally nothing if you're under 50."

My Inner Martha Stewart; For Vogue
I was originally going to devote this post to the fairer arts of cooking and needlework. Having just emerged from my 30 minute elicptical machine workout while watching the Food Network's two hottest chefs (I think one is named Tyler, and the other has bleached hair), I wanted to tell everyone that...

I'm enjoying a day reading in a comfy Lake Placid B&B while my sons crazily shred up the slopes at Whiteface; Jacob on skis, Ben on his snowboard. I used to ski, but then my knees started telling me not to, so I hung it up. I would have never skied on a day like today though. It's sunny, yes. But...

Apes and Pigs
