February 29. Our odd little calendar balancing act. I feel as if I ought to commemorate it in some way. Today is leap day. Rather than take a day away from a 31 month here and there to give February 30 all year round, it gets only 28, but every four years it gets this unusual [...]

Four Years

Four years ago I wrote a post on this blog on Valentine’s Day, and I was happy, at least happyish (if you’re interested, view it here). I was sitting at the desk in my own house, the one I remodeled by myself into a cozy home for myself, my darling girl, and my animals. Three [...]
Who is Someone?

Posted in Media, tagged Cosmetic Surgery, Dolly Parton, Entertainment, movies, Music, Popular culture, Steve Martin on February 2, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Dear Steve Martin and Dolly Parton, Your age would have looked better than whatever it is you have done to your faces. You both have always managed to present an aura of self-possession through which the surgeries have exposed a fissure, a dissonance. It’s a shock, frankly.
