See Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad Okay, so now I have not only heard but watched this spoof. I realize that Paris’s mom was annoyed that McCain blasted her “pretty in pink” baby in one of his ads since the Hiltons have given his campaign $4600. But could someone have stopped this from coming… Continue reading Paris Hilton Responds
We all spend a lot of time – because it is in the news a lot or because we care about our quality of life – worrying about exercising our bodies, making our bodies more fit and ready for aging (okay, so the teenager that exercises regularly probably doesn’t think of that). The question today… Continue reading How do you exercise your brain?
So why is it news when Ozzie Guillen lets out that managers do tell pitchers to hit batters? In my mind, and there are sports purists out there who will think this is blasphemy, this was a given. I have watched it from Little League to high school through college and pros. I have seen… Continue reading HBP – Hit by Pitch
I started reading Three Cups of Tea as I took my 17 year old son for what we both hoped was his last orthopedist’s appointment due to a broken ankle. I had picked it up in my summer reading pile. I have read many books about life in the Middle East but most of my… Continue reading Book Review – Three Cups of Tea

Thankfully, his… Continue reading Health Update
I admit it. The Buffalo-Niagara Frontier is not where I would come to vacation during a beautiful week in July. I am here as “mother” since my 21 year old had acute appendicitis. I come to this area frequently – as in four or five times a year for the last three or four years. … Continue reading Buffalo-Niagara Frontier – A Vacation Destination
… cell phones, text messaging and the internet? My most recent “disaster” occurred the is morning. My 21 year old son is working at an internship in Wheatfield and living on campus at the University at Buffalo for the summer. He has made arrangements with his twin sister, who is living and working at Niagara… Continue reading What did we do before ….
I realize that young adults sometimes make bad decisions. I have heard the stories of what goes on in dorms and out of dorms on college campuses. I went to a university that has perennially been called a “party” school. Yet, rules are rules. When you sign up to represent your college in a sport,… Continue reading Rules are Rules
Okay, so everyone was up in arms over The New Yorker’s cover that was a caricature of Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. What will people think about Vanity Fair’s caricature of John McCain and his wife Cindy, which is a spoof? Vanity Fair Cover Now, the first thing I notice is the hand full… Continue reading Vanity Fair Hits GOP Candidate with Spoof
I am a huge professional cycling fan. I live for the three weeks in the summer when I get to watch the best of the best battle the mountains of the Pyrenees and the Alps and the cobblestone of French villages as they ride the Tour de France. I also love seeing the French countryside… Continue reading Versus on Time-Warner Cable
