The Biker

June 8, 2008

Each night we would linger, both unsure about how to ask each other out. The ink wasn’t dry on my divorce yet and he had been living alone in the woods for years. But despite his self-imposed isolation, a woman had found him. And he wanted me.

The Census Bureau reports that half of the 60 million American women who are 45 and older are single. In his News Day article, Peter Jackson writes that while many of the women are divorced or widowed others are “single by design.” He cites The New Single Woman, a book by E. Kay Trimberger, a [...]

Why everyone should hire a single mom.

June 6, 2008

We write hilarious e-mails when we’re running late. Benjamin woke up three times last night … so we both slept in. When I woke up at 8:20 (an hour later than usual) I stumbled to my computer and sent this e-mail to my co-workers: Subject Line: Rough Night Benjamin was up often, slept in a [...]

Boys vs. Men

June 3, 2008

There are men, and then there are boys… This weekend two boys (who shall remain unnamed) where sitting in my kitchen. I was hosting a mini after hours thing. So, I popped a pizza in the oven. “I’m running outside, keep an eye on the pizza, okay?” “What? What are we supposed to look for?” [...]

My toothless child.

June 2, 2008

[This post is dedicated to Benjamin's first two front teeth.] You might remember when Benjamin lost his front tooth on Christmas Day. After he took a big fall, the tooth cracked. Eventually the dentist had to pull it out (there were straps, it was horrible). Lately I’ve noticed his second front tooth greying … fading [...]
