I think I have one of the nicest offices of anyone I know. My daily commute consists of rolling out of bed and shuffling a few feet down the hallway. My boss doesn’t care when I show up or if I show up in my pajamas. Plenty of birds come by to visit; sometimes deer. Okay, it’s pretty cold in the winter, but then I go south to my winter…

I recently visited the Pentagon. Now, I will give you all just a moment to revel in the irony of this pacifist, hippie-chick roaming the halls of the Pentagon. Okay … are you back now? Don’t get me wrong – if pushed to the wall, even I would concede that we don’t (yet) live in a Utopian world and as much as I wish we could all be like Costa…

Dear Eve at 12, Your family is not as odd as you think they are (well, some of them are. But that’s not your problem). You’re doing fine. Your teeth will straighten out, you really do have good hair and your handwriting will improve (although in twenty years no one will write anything by hand anymore and it won’t matter). Try not to worry. Trust me. Dear Eve at 16,…

Did I ever tell you guys I used to do stand up comedy? This was a couple of years ago and I was actually aiming to brush up on my Spanish. But when I looked through the continuing education catalog from our community college there were no Spanish classes that fit my schedule. But, it turns out that STand up comedy comes right after SPanish in the course catalog ……
Ya gotta love Mira Zielinski – the headstrong and (I thought) hilarious protagonist in REAL LIFE & LIARS. Unless, of course, you’re one of her children. Then maybe you hate her – but you still love her. Y’know how family is. Equal parts love and disdain. Full of love and full of angst. Faith that everything will work out fine and full of dread at all that could go wrong….

Huh? Really? School’s out? My kids too? Summer always creeps on me – and it’s no wonder. Keep in mind that I live in New England and we’re still having frosts at night, so you can see how I might not know we’re anywhere near summer. But thank goodness they send all those notices home from school. Not that I read them. But they do start to pile up on…
