Year of the Tiger

Year of the Tiger

As a former New Orleans resident, it’s hard for me to get totally enthusiastic about Mardi Gras anymore. In fact, it makes me sad that I can’t walk out onto my front porch like I used to and see a slew of parades go by in the week prior to actual Fat Tuesday. But, this weekend I... Comments: 0

Jeanie Weenie

I love clothes, but I refuse to wear a trend for a trend’s sake. All I know is that I’m sick of super-skinny jeans with low waists. For me, someone with a narrow waist and hips slightly wider than my thighs (isn’t that natural for most women?), it's hard to find a truly... Comments: 1

Oishi

An addiction of mine is Japanese candy. I had a chance to live in Tokyo for a few consecutive summers after graduating from college and developed a taste for all things sweet and Japanese. Hi-Chews (especially the lychee-flavored ones) were a particular favorite. They tasted like the best... Comments: 0

Inside the Ropes With Tiger

    Frankly, I’m stunned by the media’s reaction to Tiger Woods’ driving mishap. Come on, have you seen this guy’s driving accuracy stats? He hits trees all the time!      My bad. I couldn’t resist that one.    ... Comments: 2

A Victorian Obsession

A Victorian Obsession

I’ve had the 1890s on my mind lately. Not long ago, I read an interview with comedienne Margaret Cho about how she and her husband considered themselves to be “steampunks": a subcultural movement that includes wearing Victorian and Edwardian garb (such as corsets, waistcoats,... Comments: 3

The SunRail Slant

     You really have to wonder why the Orlando Sentinel is so blatantly biased in its reporting on SunRail. I can recall very few times when I have seen a mainstream daily paper produce such one-sided coverage of a controversial topic as the Sentinel has on the proposed... Comments: 1

Ram I Am

Ram I Am

I do not like that weird Dodge Ram “My Tank Is Full’’ commercial. For one thing, the tank won’t stay full for long, with gas mileage of 13 mpg in the city. And I don't think that's the Ram talking. I mean, I don't see any lips moving on that grille, do you? "My name... Comments: 1
