Women and worry: Why we're so darn good at it
Monday, Oct. 6, 2008
Show me a person who isn't worried right now and I'll show you someone on heavy-duty medication. The rest of us are stressed out (thank goodness for Saturday Night Live) and females are twice as likely to suffer from significant anxiety than men.
Favorite Paul Newman moments

Everyone has their favorite Paul Newman memories. Here are mine, and a beautiful tribute video by another fan, found on YouTube. What are yours?
Perspective

The email, from a friend, said, "This will either make you feel young....or very old." I took a chance and opened the photo anyway.
If you're in need of inspiration today...

Had enough doom and gloom for one week, if not a lifetime? Check out this online movie for heartening quotes by some of our greatest leaders.
We need a little Christmas
Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2008
It used to drive me crazy to see Christmas merchandise in the stores before Halloween. Not this year. Holiday cheer? I say, bring it on, baby. We need it and we need it now!
The cow goes "Meh-meh"??

If I had grandkids, I'd be all over Bzzzpeek, the Web site that lets children from around the world share their favorite animal (or vehicle) sounds with others.
Congrats to our friend, Bryan!

Well, he's not REALLY my friend. But a good pal of BoomerGirl's own Showbiz Kid won an Emmy last night, and that's good enough for me.
Celebrity fantasy confessions
Sunday, Sept. 21, 2008
Oh, the agony of a heart divided! The guilt of immoral thoughts! But — bless me Father, I have sinned — I just can’t help myself. I’m in love with Don Draper.
I'm running for President!

My fellow Americans, the people have spoken. And, as a servant of the people, I'm throwing my hat in the ring. Check out the news on the next page....
In case you missed it...

For the first time in a LONG time, I stayed up to watch "Saturday Night Live" just to see if Tina Fey would make her much-anticipated appearance as Gov. Sarah Palin. Boy, am I glad I did!
Year of the Chick Flick?
Saturday, Sept. 13, 2008
I'm not a big "go to the movies" person anymore. (It's that blasted buttered popcorn. I'm powerless over it.) However, I did make exceptions this year for two movies, both chick flicks. As this story in the Wall Street Journal explains, I wasn't alone.
Dolphins at play
Friday, Sept. 12, 2008
Tonight, as I recover from not one, but THREE, tornado warnings, fraught with worry for the thousands of people who didn't get out of Galveston in time, a video of dolphins playing with mysterious self-propagating bubbles makes me smile.
Dusty: The real deal
Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008
This just in from a nameless reader who wants everyone to know there will NEVER be another Dusty Springfield, in her humble opinion. After checking out the video she sent me, I have to agree.
Dusty Springfield reincarnated?
Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2008
It's Duffy not Dusty, but the similarities don't end there. This 23-year-old singer from Wales just might be my favorite new artist.
Monday, Monday... so good to me
Monday, Sept. 8, 2008
I don't know about you, but I need a soft re-entry after what proved to be a full, exhausting weekend. This Mamas and Papas video ought to do the trick.
