Share/Save I remember reading that John Waters loved when his subscriptions to The Atlantic Monthly and the National Enquirer arrived on the same day. As though the mail carrier might take note of Mr. Waters’ unlikely combination of high and lowbrow reading material and be duly impressed. With that in mind, I’m not going to [...]
Share/SaveSome time ago — in the same night I might add — my daughter asked me what the two blue columns shining into the sky were about AND why Hannah has two moms. Either question could make a parent’s head spin as we carefully select appropriate and measured responses. I was more comfortable answering the [...]
Share/Save“My sister…was a phenomenal mother, aunt and friend.” – Warren Hance A few months ago I wrote a blog about a tragic car crash on the Taconic Parkway in the summer of 2009. A month after the blog was published, Jackie Hance, the mother who lost her three children, was interviewed for the first time [...]
Share/Save My daughter’s Freddy-inspired shoebox project Summer movie season has hit and if you have a pre-teen (or the annoying descriptor “tween”) you may be faced with your child’s awkward movie-stage.

Share/Save When my friend, the film aficionado, invited us over to watch Bambi on Blu-ray, I burst out laughing. It just didn’t seem like the kind of movie that warranted digitized Blu-ray technology for sound or visuals, but there it was — Bambi — staring us down like a deer in the headlights. Truthfully, I [...]
Share/SaveThe other day I was at the playground and heard some moms discussing school. “Yeah, well,” one began. “If we don’t get into one of the charter schools for next year, that’s it I guess. We’re moving.” I hate hearing this, and trust me, it’s something I have heard over and over and seen happen [...]

Thank you, Dr. Epps — for your sensitivity and support toward the young women who are a part of the Jersey City community. Thank you, for imparting this particular wisdom to the clergymen and women who [...]
