If there is no self, whose arthritis is this? Be here now. Be someplace else later. Is that so complicated?

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).

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...
