The old British comedy series Monty Python is still one of my all-time favorite TV shows. They had a way of flipping overused ideas upside down and making something new out of them. In one skit, John Cleese and company took the tired old cliché of the superhero and turned him into: “Daht-dah-dah-dah… Bicycle Repair [...]
Sometimes we write a single blog post, we send it out into the world and it becomes an instant—and unexpected— hit.

My blogging self turned three years old last month. I’m past the pains of teething, past the ‘terrible 2′s,’ with the nonstop questions (although, come to think of it, I’m still asking ‘why?’ questions a lot.) Blogging is so much a part of me that I forget that other people might not be even remotely [...]
We have just watched the inflated, over-the-top, “I’m good.” “No, you’re good” Oscars. Well, some of us. Since my daughter was in the biz, the glamour is gone. But that’s another story.
