Grief in the Facebook Age
Grief in the Facebook age is public. Others have said it better, but I’m going to say it again. Last week, we lost a young woman who fought bravely against cancer for years, only to succumb before she’d reached the age of 30. There are no words, as the rabbi said, at a time like…

Right so I have officially become a woman: I just watched Valley of the Dolls. Yes, all five hours of it. I wasn’t actually sure if I liked the movie until the ending, and then as soon as it was over, I whispered to myself under my breath, Yas, queen. It’s streaming on Netflix now, so go & watch…

Five Albums: Double Fantasy
Three chimes. Double Fantasy is a meditative experience. It plays like a story of a relationship which begins in the middle — a genius move that lends itself brilliantly to playing it over and over, to “start over” again and again. Lennon’s gift for songwriting is undoubtedly enhanced by his relationship with Ono. I’ve always regarded them…

If You Can’t Say Something Nice, Write It On The Internet
I was raised on a couple of “Golden Rule”s. “Silence is Golden!” “Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You,” and “If You Can’t Say Something Nice, Don’t Say Anything At All.” Today, it seems these old platitudes have modern twists. FUN! “Silence Is An Invitation To Stick Your Two Cents…
