It feels like another lifetime. Last weekend I was in New York, walking around downtown with my yoga mat. I hung out in a cool coffeeshop in Tribeca called Pain Au Quotidien, drinking a bowl of Cafe Au Lait and reading the New York Times. I bartered for a knock-off hobo bag on Canal St [...]

Married, With Children
January 26th, 2010 3 Comments
One afternoon my husband and I walked in the door and lay down on the living room rug in our coats. The world dissolved, and we melted into each other, bodies recalling the old spark and stir. Then the children pounced on us–crying for attention, pulling us apart. They couldn’t bear to see us kiss, [...]

Cabin Fever 2: How To Survive January
January 9th, 2010 No Comments
Last winter was rough. I felt like I spent weeks cooped up indoors with a warmth-loving 3-year-old and a wild-monster 1-year old. It’s true, my oldest is something of a hothouse flower. She loves heat and being naked. She’d probably thrive in Southern Florida, but she’s going to have to wait till college for that [...]

Winter Lemonade Stand

It was a glorious, sunny, blue-and-white winter afternoon, but the girls wanted to stay indoors. They dressed up as Fairy Princesses and set up a Lemonade Stand in the playroom. I [...]

As the country debates Marriage as an institution, I consider the state of my own union. Tonight C. nursed to sleep in my arms after a night away. Such sweet reunion. Sometimes she likes to take my lower lip in her mouth and suck on it, laughing. Later, A. wrote me a card because she [...]

Feeding Sugar Kitty

I was on the radio last week! Lots of fun and lots of hard work. The recording session took nearly 2 hours of intense coaching, articulation, and repeating sentences to get the tone and emphasis just right. To listen to my commentary on VPR, click here and go to LISTEN. This 3 minute, 14 second [...]
