Books
Sinclair Lewis' Main Street once a year. Henry James over and over, also Edith Wharton. Jane Austen every few years. Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad a few times and Bill Bryson anytime. If you haven't read "A Short History of Nearly Everything," that is your next assignment. Nick Hornby and Anne Tyler. Sometimes Mary Gaitskill. Elizabeth Enright is comfort food for very bad times. I live by the values I learned in A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett.) I'll think of more later. Read about my books at www.yankeechick.com.. And no, I don't love Dr. PhilHeroes
John Lennon. Edith Wharton. Henry James. Bill Bryson. Woody Allen (minus the creepy bits). What does it all mean?

.. ..I'm a writer. That's what I do. I do almost nothing else except look after dogs and husband. Sometimes I travel. It's a life...
I blog almost every day and always try to be interesting or, at the very least, entertaining. One plus: I'm usually grammatical. I care. Come back soon, come back often.
Who are the party animals below? It's my 30-year HS reunion - the High School of Art & Design Class of 1976. We boogie oogie oogied 'til we just couldn't boogie no more.

The Beatles. Barring that, published writers. (Yeah, I'm a snob about it. So sue me.) Dedicated readers. Artists. Cranky people. Cynics. Shrinks. Musicians, although they can be pains in the ass. What do you call a lead singer without a girlfriend?Details

If you're going to live with such gusto, then you must have the proper technique.
A '94 Accord? I got a '97 Passport!
Hondas roll foreva!
"Fashion! (Turn to the left.)
Fashion! (Turn to the right.)
Ooo, Fashion!
We've got a goon squad
And we're coming to town.
Beep, beep!"
(Men's hip fashion, circa 1972.)
"Oh, where, oh where has my Sophia gone?
Oh, where, oh where can she be..."
Happy Birthday , Sophie.
You're the reason God made Yankee Chicks.
Love ,John.
"Dembling, you listen to me, and you listen hard. Two hundred people, two hundred jobs, two hundred thousand dollars, five weeks of grind and blood and sweat depend upon you. It's the lives of all these people who've worked with you. You've got to go on, and you've got to give and give and give. They've got to like you. Got to. Do you understand? You can't fall down. You can't because your future's in it, my future and everything all of us have is staked on you. All right, now I'm through, but you keep your feet on the ground and your head on those shoulders of yours and go out, and Dembling, you're going out a youngster but you've got to come back a star!"
Just paraphrasing your past to help you step into the future.
Happy B-Day, Sophia.
Wishing you a FAB D.O.B. ! xxoo
