We Are Not All in This Together
We Are Not All in This Together
Most of us may be under similar restrictions do to Covid-19, but the similarities between us end there. The stories of those facing it alone, as just one more crisis among many others they’ve similarly faced without support, are never going to draw many eyes and even less concern. They often lead to simply another statistic, a suicide without explanation or if given any thought, they will be…

Lean Streets Mid-afternoon on weekday was never like this. As empty as the streets are my mind is overfull: We will get through this.
New York and Me: When it no longer is what it is, anymore. Time has ceased to have the same meaning it had pre-Covid-19. It's brought people together and is tearing some apart.
All The Stages of Me
The Joyful Lion Tamer. I was so passionate about becoming a zoologist (specializing in big cats) I wrote my first “fan letter” to Joan Embrey, the San Diego Zoo curator who often appeared on The Tonight Show.

Tiny Dancer. For the fifteen years I pursued ballet I knew what it was to feel one with an art medium that allowed me freedom from myself, or was it freedom…

Photo of the Day: July 10, 2019 Gary Cooper in High Noon (1952)
Photo of the day: July 9, 2019 I'd like to get back to posting images (mostly from films) that say much more and much better what I would like. Today's photo is Frank Sinatra in The Manchurian Candidate. Care for a game of solitaire?
Feeling blue? Watch an old movie.
Feeling blue? Watch an old movie.
Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday (1953)
It isn’t nostalgia that draws me to moldy old films, I’ve been hooked on them since childhood. And neither of my parents were as interested in them so it wasn’t inherited or taught (heaven knows none of my friends cared about them). Nevertheless, they always lifted me out of myself and to this day I can’t find any one simply explained, clear…

These Boot Covers Are Made For Walking!
These Boot Covers Are Made For Walking!
No more does a post-surgical medical boot mean a blow to your style nor need it draw the pitiful brand of attention to your affliction instead of to your style. Call it deflective decorating but it works wonders. Suddenly you are the cool one on the subway and not the annoying person crowding and holding everyone up. Even in NY!
After going over the internet I was delighted (and relieved) to see…

Gone With The Wind at 80: "We're the ones being winnowed out."
Gone With The Wind at 80: “We’re the ones being winnowed out.”
I went to see the 80th anniversary screening in Times Square of the movie that has meant more to me than any other, Gone With The Wind. I have seen it many times on the big screen, I even got to introduce it on Turner Classic Movies on its 70th (and the network’s 10th) anniversary.
This viewing, in a mostly empty theater, with two dear friends, was unexpectedly different, emotionally powerful…

Cancer Soloist: Don't Be Afraid To Ask
Cancer Soloist: Don’t Be Afraid To Ask
One of the biggest obstacles to getting the emotional and practical help you need is asking for it. It’s no shame to ask, but most of us have that creepy feeling that asking for anything more than once or twice is pressing it. It may be because the person is signaling annoyance or it may be just in our heads but it can put the brakes on getting the break you need.
No one wants to be a “bother” to…

These High Heels Are Made For Walking...once more.
These High Heels Are Made For Walking…once more.
I’ve decided that I haven’t had enough time under the knife. This time, I’m going as low as I can go: my precious, neglected feet.
As a ballet dancer wearing feet-deforming toe shoes (heaven–classy!) and 5 inch heels (hell–vainglorious!) I have had to pay the piper for such foot-torture for nearly two decades.

It’s to the point where there are corners of my closet I can’t peer into…

The Vicious Circle: Depression and Recession
The Vicious Circle: Depression and Recession
Ever notice how the vocabulary we use to characterize financial health and mental health are extraordinarily similar in English?
Here are three definitions plucked from the internet. Two from traditionally respected dictionaries and one that purports to explain words of and about the zeitgeist to them in their terms.
Cambridge English Dictionary:
“feeling unhappy and without hope”
“showing a lack…

Cancer Soloist
Cancer is a humbling experience. You know what I mean if you’ve experienced the effects of the disease and the treatments.
A smile, which can beautify the homeliest face, comes painfully and rarely when the mouth is sore and the lips cracked not to mention bad breath from the dry-mouth side effect of many medications.
Then there is the bloated tummy, the rampaging colon activity that can turn…

Humor: Instead of “Dying Laughing” it’s just dying.
Here is a little reminder that funny is funny is funny…and it’s never “dated” because you can’t reduce humor to any mathematical formula and you certainly cannot subjugate it to socio-political nonsense.
In today’s clip, Johnny Carson, the best talk how host bar none, welcomes comedienne/actress and star of “The Dick Van Dyke Show”, Rose Marie, and what ensues when he’s caught out for making a…

Movie About Immigration, Identity and Whistle Blowing Lands on National Film Registry No, you didn't overlook this movie in theaters and you won't find it on Netflix or Hulu.
Vive la différence!
 PARIS, January 10, 2018 — “Rape is a crime. But trying to pick up someone, however persistently or clumsily, is not — nor is gallantry an attack of machismo.”
The above is from a frank and open letter penned by five prominent French femmes, endorsed by 100 more, including celebrated icon Catherine Deneuve, forming une résistance to self-defeating extremes and supporting the right of the…
