I’m just a man: how can I ever understand women? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the strangest things about being a father of girls is that I’m encouraged to be sympathetic and informed about the female experience at the same time as being told I will never appreciate what it’s like to be a girl. Show that you care, but mind your own business. Try to understand us, even though you will never understand us. It’s very confusing. If I were a male chauvinist—I stress the "if"—I could suggest that insisting a man should do something you also believe he is incapable of doin
The more extreme Donald Trump’s language sounds, the weaker he looks | Opinion (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maybe it’s an exaggeration to say Donald Trump is approaching his "Ceaușescu moment," but for a president untroubled by doubt or caution, there has been a definite vibe shift. That’s because when Trump used extreme or crazy rhetoric in the past it was always from a position of strength. The next two years will be different. With Republican midterm defeats looming and the prospect of a limping, if not lame, duck presidency plus a GOP inevitably casting its eyes over the horizon at the post-Trump
Midlife Lessons: What To Say If Your Children Are Scared About World War III (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It all feels a bit "end of the worldy" at the moment, doesn’t it? At least people of a certain age—such as myself—know how this goes. We’ve seen it all before: talk of the "gathering storm"; the claims this year feels like 1939; the footage of Russian bombers being escorted away from Polish airspace. But for your children, the thought of war can be a wrench. It’s not so much like discovering Santa doesn’t really deliver your presents down the chimney, but that Santa is coming down the chimney an
Midlife Lessons: I’m Worried About Falling Over—Look at Mitch McConnell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The clearest sign of old age is when falling over becomes “a fall." Having “a fall” is an ID card for being geriatric, like using a senior discount coupon or eating too much creamed corn. Just ask Senator Mitch McConnell. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican finally reappeared at the Capitol after three months of convalescence. At that venerable age, poor Mitch didn’t have the option to just fall over. He had to have a fall. It’s a sobering thought, even for those of us a generation or two behind
Midlife lessons: Why is my life in a state of permanent crisis? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
An author once wrote, “Do you know what adult life is? It’s 50 years of crisis management. If you’re lucky.” Actually, the author was me, and I was pretty happy with that line. It was a quote from a novel I wrote that I struggled to get published for a couple of years. I had one agent after another, but it never quite happened. That experience helped me understand that as you approach middle age, almost everything, even the things you love doing, can contribute to the sense that life is merely a
