This morning, I saw a quote that made me laugh and nod in agreement. Hunter Harris and Peyton Dix — two of the internet’s funniest voices — wrote a list of things they’re thirsty for. Spoiler: they don’t fall under the conventional definition of sexy. After reading Hunter’s and Peyton’s turn ons, I remembered a […]
Today, I was in one of those bad moods where you can’t quite put your finger on what’s bothering you. To shake it off, I tried to look for pick-me-ups, and here are five… My friend Nicki came over the other day and took these shots of Toby with her film camera. Gahh, I love […]
Right now, I’m typing in the living room of my childhood home… Looking around, I remember one random evening, 20 years ago in this very room, my family and I witnessing an epic dance-off between my six-year-old brother, Sammy, and cousin, David. The song Poison by Bell Biv DeVoe was playing on the stereo, and […]

Of course, I realize that natural wine is cool these days. New York Magazine calls it “a wine-list must-have.” […]
Of course I wasn’t exactly happy that my daughter had to have oral surgery… But last weekend, I flew out to Chicago to help get her through the right-of-passage removal of her wisdom teeth, and I had the chance to do something I don’t get to do very much anymore: I got to mother her […]
It’s hard to explain how different menopause is from what you’re picturing… Because when you’re 11 or 12, you learn about fertility as a simple egg-dropping span of years bookended by the gentle onset of menstruation at the front and its gentle cessation at the back. And your first clue that this is not the […]
The other day, I learned a new-to-me word… I was lying in bed watching My Lady Jane, when one of the words hit me like a truck: detumescence. The main characters were lying in bed, after sleeping together, and the narrator said, “Should she tell Guildford [some bad news] now and perhaps sour this blissful […]
