Bookseller, baker, ricotta-cheese maker. I'm a reader, a wannabe writer, have a mothballed J.D., and am little bit crazy. These are the days of my lives.

I go to therapy not far from Fenway Park and Kenmore Square, a land of ample metered parking. Usually. But it’s baseball season, and as I came out of my session, the SUVs were roaming like mad cattle, foaming and frothing and honking and worst of all, NOT USING THEIR SIGNALS TO INDICATE LANE CHANGES. […]

I’ve come to decide that most retail customers fall into four categories: assholes, nice people, needy mcneedsters, and freaks.
Sometimes the venn diagrams overlap. Sometimes they don’t. There are outliers, of course. Aliens who land on Earth just to make you grab your hair and say OH MY GOD WHERE THE HELL DID THEY COME FROM, […]

Beyonce, girlfriend, forget rings. You and I have got to talk about fried eggs. Especially this one. Because there’s this woman Deb, she runs an excellent website, and she has a recipe I think you will like– because see that glossy, fried golden egg on top of it all? This is a recipe all the […]
I’ve been sick with the flu or a cold or some other plague and in my fevered uckiness last night, I was listening to iTunes on the lovely new headphones the BH got me as I clicked desultorily ’round the Internet, reading about Maine Coon Cats– and Tori Amos’ Winter came on.

The Backstreet Boys have a new song! Why did nobody tell me this until I was listening to the Top 40 radio station in my car?!?
Yes, I AM totally serious about being excited. I am unashamed about my love for the Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and Kelly Clarkson. I will have you know […]

Why yes, that was me singing at the top of my lungs this morning in my car.
Why yes, that was “You Are the Sun” by Lionel Richie.
What, you love that song too?
And anything else by Lionel Richie?
Well then– bop along at your laptop with me. Because you … you are the sun, you are the rain …
Thanks to my friend L. for cluing me in to the You Tube Channel that is How It Should Have Ended. Because really, Lord of the Rings? Great movie– epic, even, to use an overused Internetism, but, well, after about the fifth ending at the end of Return of the King I was […]
You get to the point with the depression where there’s a lift, almost a lurch in your stomach like when the airplane you’re flying in stutters off of the ground, and then, there, you feel like you’re more than no longer Earthbound but no longer subterranean anymore– you feel like Daedalus, flapping toward cruising altitude, […]

I wanted to use the Yiddish term Bubbe yesterday– when I googled it, this was the number one page-ranked result– an actual guy’s Bubbe, giving lessons in kosher cuisine on You Tube. (Teh You Tubes for you younger kids.) I haven’t watched it all the way through, but it just kills me in […]
