  • I Am Curious…Golden

    Posted on July 22nd, 2008 in HOWDINI by admin

    Yesterday as I was rushing to a doctor’s appointment, a man approached me just in front of the subway entrance.

    “Excuse me, madam,” he said, “may I ask you a question without appearing to be rude or offensive?”

    The man was in worn out jeans, a long sleeve plaid button down shirt, and sandals with socks. He had about seven teeth. …

  • Cindy McCain, Give Me a Little Credit

    Posted on July 14th, 2008 in HOWDINI by admin

    I always thought I was an excellent shopper until I read that Cindy McCain, in one month, ran up an American Express bill of 500 thousand dollars on one account, and about 250 thousand on the other. Now, unless you’re charging a Maserati, or a condo at the beach, it’s not easy to run up three quarters of a …

  • When Thongs Go Wrong

    Posted on June 27th, 2008 in HOWDINI by admin

    Here’s a cautionary tale: A California woman is suing Victoria’s Secret because, she says, a metal clasp that held a rhinestone heart in place flew off the thong, and hit her in the eye, causing cornea injury and excruciating pain.

  • Does This New Website Design Make Our Butt Look Smaller?

    Posted on June 22nd, 2008 in HOWDINI by admin

    You know how frustrating it is when you spend all day at the salon and then you get home and your significant other doesn’t even notice your new fabulousity?  I hate to say how many times my husband has looked at me three days after a makeover and said, “Did you do something to your hair today?”

    So I’m not going …

  • Misty Water Colored Memories…

    Posted on March 26th, 2008 in HOWDINI by admin

    I can sympathize with Hillary Clinton. I mean, who hasn’t occasionally mis-remembered an event that happened long ago? Maybe you got off a plane in Bosnia and had to run (in serpentine motion?) to avoid possible sniper fire, or maybe that’s just how you remember it.

  • 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.
