Cheesecake is delicious. It’s a known fact in case you were wondering. The taste, the smell, the texture, the…calories? Okay, scratch that last one out. As I was enjoying my fantasy of dessert at The Cheesecake Factory, Glee called with some unpleasant news. It seems with all these health and diet crazes, The Cheesecake Factory is going to [...]

I adore Maury but sometimes I think my husband with the heartbeat of a snail gets too absorbed with technology. I’m overwhelmed with life so I don’t need any more distractions. After Rivka drops the little ones off for me to babysit this afternoon because Pucci Salon, a prestigious hair salon, has a sudden cancellation and a one year waiting list, [...]
My parting news gift from CNN is the report about women and stress. They ranked women in 29 countries and guess who’s #1? The women in India. Why? Because they’re an emerging nation creating jobs. The women are going to work and coming home to men who lift their feet so they can vacuum under them. And [...]

I find most of this embarrassing because friends and relatives call from [...]

Suspect, Robert James Neese, allegedly has been involved in nearly 400 burglaries around Carefree, Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Cave Creek, and Scottsdale, stealing more than an estimated $10 million in cash and [...]
One of the joys of being married is the stress your husband creates. Maury and I have been together decades and he still manages to surprise me. I have accepted the fact that I will never get rid of the History Channel or golf. Isn’t it a cliché for doctors to play golf? This week a news story set [...]
Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably have heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have called it quits. I usually try to ignore the celebrity Hollywood scene, but couldn’t help but share my opinion when Glee brought it up over lunch the other day. “Jean, did you hear?” asked Glee. “Let [...]
