(The brilliant economist Nouriel Roubini, mysteriously described in the NY Times as having "pessimistic" hair [thus proving, one assumes from the text, the ecomomist's pessimistic nature]. What is optimistic hair? A combover?) There is a car I pass each day as I come home from taking my son to school, a huge gray Hummer...

I Want a Bargain by Nancy I got religion late, but now I'm in the front pew. I don't know about you, but nowadays I never set foot in Macy's unless I have a coupon in my handbag. The store...

September creeps toward August like a frightened lizard, and here in Scottsdale the mercury still rises each day past the 100 mark. I have had about enough of living indoors, of hiding from the hot white heatblast that bakes over this place for months and months. Enough of watching the grackles stand with wings outspread,...

Ship of Fools by Harley Last week I took my first cruise, not counting “Love Boat” and “The Titanic.” Not THE Titanic, but the CBS miniseries starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Peter Gallagher. The one you didn’t see. I never saw...

My second book was dedicated to my sister, "who believes in me, and who doesn't hold it against me that I was mean to her when we were little."
