Dad’s Day
Posted on June 16th, 2011 in HOWDINI by Kathy OlsenJust a guess, but I’m thinking dads must tire sometimes of the endless requests for them to hand something over. Allowance, car keys, tuition, house payments. As some unknown person said, a father is a guy who has snapshots in his wallet where his money used to be. I hope for most fathers this is a fair trade, because as …
Diploma in Hand, Now What?
Posted on June 12th, 2011 in HOWDINI by Kathy OlsenI read in the New York Times that new college graduates are having a terrible time finding jobs, especially jobs that require the degree they now possess.

Have Your Cake
Posted on May 17th, 2011 in HOWDINI by Kathy OlsenSome of the most popular postings on Howdini’s YouTube channel, based on viewer comments, are the ones that demonstrate how to turn ordinary cakes into creative masterpieces.

About This Blogger
- Unless you see otherwise, blogs are written by me. To learn a lot about me (and who wouldn’t want to?) check out the About Us page at Howdini. But here’s enough to help you picture me, your happy blogger, as you read. I’m a willowy blonde, fabulous figure, late 30s, Ivy League educated but very down to earth. Oh wait, that’s my imaginary alter ego. In reality, I’m none of those things, except down to earth, or maybe, uh, earthy. I’m also a long time television producer and writer, a mom, and a wife. I have written two books; the new one is called Five Lessons I Didn’t Learn From Breast Cancer (and One Big One I Did) which you can buy HERE.
