Very Mysterious
I have been too busy today (lots of fun goings on here!) to post the next installment of my recent series of posts (you can start reading those here), but some of you may have noticed that a ghost in the machine posted a video of the Speed Racer theme for me today. Last week, [...]
That’s my Girl!
My daughter likes to have me sing to her each night at bedtime. Her most frequently requested tune is "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." However, last night she wanted me to sing her new favorite song: the theme from Speed Racer. (Did I mention that even before Peter Pan I was in love with that other [...]
House, Hillary and an Honesty Oxymoron
You all know how the song goes: honesty is such a lonely word. Yep, and everyone is so untrue. Or to take us into the current century and an entirely different pop culture icon: Everyone lies. Tell me that you never lie, and like House, I'll tell you you're lying. Yet, if you're anything like [...]

In Which Christmas and I Call a Truce
I'm sitting here in the light of the Christmas tree, sated by a day's worth of Christmas cookie snacking, having just danced to Christmas music with my Christmas-obsessed four-year-old daughter. Her excitement and enthusiasm (and maybe the sugar high) have me feeling, at least today, a little less guilty, anxiety-ridden, ambivalent and depressed about Christmas [...]
A Letter to 13-Year-Old Me
A few months back, Guilty Secret wrote a letter to her past self. I thought this was a great idea and always meant to steal it from her. Then I saw that R.E.H. at Ramblings of a Madman was participating in a meme where you write a letter to your 13-year-old self. So, I thought, [...]
