My new shoes came with an accompanying CD-ROM to show me how to walk in them. They are ‘physiological footwear.’ Wow. They are called MBT Footwear and there is a whole theory behind them. I must mention here they are the most expensive pair of gym shoes I ever purchased. I’m sure my cool Keds from the fifth grade are rolling over in their grave. Their Web site shows how when you walk in the shoes, you roll rather than plant ...read more  My friend Victoria and her husband were at my house for the weekend. Victoria and I were perfect roommates in the seventies. We would go to Gimbels’ candy counter on East 86th street, buy bags of candy, sit on the couch and eat it while watching TV after dinner. It’s thirty some odd years later, and we still like to sit on the couch watching Turner Classic Movies (she’s the cheap one and doesn’t have HBO) and eating chocolate. Her husband ...read more My friend Carlotta and I went to college together. Actually, there were four of us that made up the Ata Beta Pie sorority, where dividing a pie in fours was part of every meeting. Carlotta has never been thin. She has been normal size at a time when that was considered on the large side. And now, like the rest of us, she is carrying extra weight. She has been on every diet known to person-kind over the years I’ve ...read more I was driving from the Hamptons to New York City yesterday via the Mid Town Tunnel. I love going through the Mid Town Tunnel because the billboards there are the best of the best in advertising. Whether it’s Apple, or Calvin, or some new brand, they do their best work on those billboards. As a marketing person, I like to look at them and see what’s what. Apple has a new fabulous ad. Be sure and check it out if you ...read more Sometimes I think it’s important to share the wealth. Pull up your chair and listen closely to this missive. It could change your life. I think everyone should have a vision board. I have a vision board. A vision board, for those of you in the dark ages of how to get what you want, is a wish list of what you want for yourself and those you care about it. You can put your vision board on your refrigerator, ...read more Paula’s sister-in-law visited last week when I was on vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. She’s our age (56), and she weighs around 10 pounds. Her thighs are firm, and she speaks in a sing-song, melodic tone. She looks like a Yoga Instructor. I told Paula later that I was sorry she had to have a sister in law that looks like that because of family pictures and all. And, she’s nice which in my mind, makes it worse. Here is what she ...read more I saw a really cool show on the Mensa gatherings that take place across America, and it looked like a perfect place for me to find my peeps. I have long suspected that they got lost somewhere through my life. People were strange and really fun to watch. They weren’t wearing shoes that are hard to walk in, and they all seemed really proud of their mental prowess. I decided that surely I could join Mensa. I thought back to ...read more You might not believe this story, but I swear every word is true. I had a ‘new’ friend I met at work (I owned a party rental company and she is one of the foremost event planners in the land) who called and suggested we go to the movies. I love movies. Where else can you stock up on bad things to eat, sit in the dark eating them while watching someone other than you fall apart on the screen? I ...read more Because I’m sure you read my blog every day and carry around the finer points I strive so hard to present, you might recall that I stopped drinking diet coke. Well, I lied. I didn’t actually mean to lie, I meant every word at the time I wrote it. My friend, Russell had lunch with me a few days after the “I’m getting rid of Diet Coke and the aspartame debacle that is taking away my memory post,” and he ...read more My new dentist is the most expensive dentist on Earth’s surface. One recent tooth cost $3,200 and it wasn’t even implanted. I look up at him in wonder. I have no idea what he looks like. His eyes are covered by the same thing the guy in Silence of the Lambs wore so he could see Jodi Foster in the dark. And, he wears a mask over his mouth so I don’t give him cooties. And, I still gave him ...read more |
