today, not so lucky
Today I’ve got nothing…nothing but the haunting impression that someone in the stratosphere listens carefully to my rants and as soon as I say something like, “Wee it’s Spring” or “Gee, Aren’t I lucky“, this malicious being unleashes some sort of unpleasantness to slap me back down into my regular state of pessimism and self [...]
i’m lucky
It occurs to me after a weekend spent with my in-laws eating loaves of incredibly moist Russian tea loaves and showing the kids Buster Keaton films and noshing on huge quantities of Indian food and reading Harry Potter to the children, chapter by chapter interrupted by cups of tea and more Russian tea loaf, that [...]
what up with jack?
Okay, who invited this Jack person? For readers who haven’t made his acquaintance please see the comment section of both One Size Does Not Fit All and Whatever Happened to Beer Pong.
In giving Jack just a moment’s thought, which is certainly more than he deserves, I’ve concluded that Jack is a preschooler.
Some apparent signs:

one size does not fit all
Leslie Bennetts’ book “The Feminine Mistake: Are We Giving Up Too Much?” has finally penetrated my brain. I’ve been trying hard to ignore the storm around this book. But today it just proved impossible to shut it out any longer. (Forgive me, I know I’m late to this party but sometimes I can’t help [...]
the interview…day two
Since yesterday’s self interview was so well received, me, myself and I would like to continue the dialog. (Also, keeping it real here, I must have thrown up some brain cells on Monday night. I’m still having trouble regaining my footing as dynamic, witty blog writer.) Let’s see what my subconscious has to say today….
CCE [...]
the interview
There’s been a rash of blog interviews posted on other sites lately. One blogger asks insightful questions of another blogger and the results are posted for the blog audience to enjoy. Seeing as no one has asked to interview me, I thought I might interview myself. (Truthfully, my brain hurts after the last 48 hours [...]

In the Boston Sunday Globe I found Daniel Klein’s OpEd piece entitled If We Could Cure Hoarding…, an amusing follow up to a Carey Goldberg’s ‘Buried Alive’ that ran on April 2nd. I would like to thank the Globe, Klein and Goldberg for inspiring a full blown compulsive purge of all the Madmarriage closets. Just [...]
i round-up no longer
The folks over at Project Censored have amassed a list of the most important but under reported news stories of the year, those that were effectively ignored due to more pressing and newsworthy events like the death of Anna Nicole and the ensuing paternity hullabaloo, Brittney and K-Fed’s divorce and her subsequent breakdown and Angelina [...]
easterpalooza
Just in case you were wondering what the Madmarriage family does to celebrate Good Friday, I’ll let you imagine us canceling our plans to attend Easterpalooza at my brother’s house, with its chocolate fountains and rented bunnies that run for their lives, hiding from the dog beneath the deck while screaming children partake in the [...]
looking forward to monday
Thursday was just ONE of those days. First there was the 6 a.m. revelry from My Better Half’s downstairs office. I don’t know what inspired him to be up so early (he’s usually not seen outside of the bedroom before 8 a.m.) but he was down there chipping away at a mountain of e-mail and [...]
