ShareAnyone who knows me knows that I am a purple-bleeding, jersey wearing, never-miss-a-game-watching, die hard Ravens fan. But it wasn’t always thus.
Growing up, Baltimore was a town without a team. Sure, we had the Orioles, but we were a football town at heart, and in the fall we had nothing but the Redskins and the [...]

ShareTonight I’m going to the Huntington Book Revue for a book signing. Not just any signing. Tonight, I’m going to meet Bethenny.
Let me just say that I have been a Bethenny fan since the first episode of The Real Housewives of New York. Under the glitz and glam, there was something so [...]

ShareThe news streaming in from Japan is staggering, heartbreaking, and impossible to escape. I cry every time I look at images. I had a blurb about our trip to Barbados all ready to go. I can’ t bring myself to post it. It was a wonderful vacation but it seems so trivial in the face [...]

ShareActors of a certain age often moan about how ageist Hollywood is. The lack of respect for older actors, for the craft itself, and how the opportunities dwindle post-40. I’ve always been a bit wary of that argument. Look, Meryl never seems to have a problem landing a role. Tom Hanks can pretty much write [...]

ShareThose of you who reside in the Northeast can attest to the fact that this feels like one of the longest winters in history. It’s only February, yet I find myself longing for spring and warm breezes earlier and more often than I have in years.
I’m not one of those people who sink into a [...]

ShareMy husband is one of those lucky people who comes from a big family on both sides. Not only that, but most of his cousins are in a similar age bracket: late 20’s to about 40, all with burgeoning careers and adult lives and families of their own.
Last weekend, we came together with the hubster’s [...]

ShareOur Thanksgiving was everything I’d hoped it would be. A house full of family, an adorable and well behaved baby girl, a long morning walk, a gorgeous table (she said as she pats herself on the back), and heaps of good food. We had roast turkey and deep fried turkey. It rained, so we had [...]

ShareWhen I was a sophomore in college, I had to get my tonsils and adenoids removed. At the same time, I also had holes poked into my sinus pockets so they would drain more efficiently. All of this happened over Christmas break, and though the doctor said it would be only about 3-4 days until [...]

ShareWhen I was in 8th grade I cheated in Latin class. We had to hand in our homework and I convinced a friend to let me copy hers because I, shockingly, wasn’t exactly prepared. Strangely enough, we had the exact same wrong answers. Busted.
I also, on occasion, would try to sneak a peek at my [...]

ShareAs a kid, I’d get to request at least one meal per week. Mom would sit at the kitchen table on Sunday, pen and paper in hand, and ask everyone what they wanted for dinner over the next five days. It usually didn’t go that well.
Asking on Sunday what someone wants to eat on Wednesday [...]
