    Everything’s cool thanks to Mr. Fix-It [opinion] (opens the original)

    When a technician pronounced our refrigerator’s ice maker beyond repair two years ago, he bowed his head, marked the event with a moment of silence, then handed us an outrageous repair bill. Not going down to defeat, or life without ice, we went out and bought two plastic ice cube trays. Making our own ice was such a throwback to the past that I bought a poodle skirt, the husband greased his hair and we began jitterbugging. Who knew what could happen next? Would we start drinking out of the gard

    A ‘little’ counseling at arm’s reach [opinion] (opens the original)

    My new therapist is sitting on the edge of my desk, legs crossed, head slightly bowed. His beady eyes peer at me through his black framed glasses as he holds a pen poised over his clipboard. He’s 3 inches tall, made of molded plastic, and looks like a cross between Freud and Dr. Leo Marvin from the movie, “What About Bob?” The therapist was a gift from one of our girls who thinks I’m stressed.

    Next to Monopoly and Battleship, Get Grandma is one of the family’s favorite games. No rules, no limits, play as often as you wish, whenever and wherever you wish. Years ago, both sons-in-laws began jumping out of closets when they realized I had a strong startle reflex and often screamed loud enough to pierce two time zones when surprised. Grandbabies arrived in rapid succession and broadened the game by hiding on the washer and dryer behind bi-fold doors, lunging from behind the sofa, the shru

    Understanding the perils of looking cool [opinion] (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Five police cars with flashing lights blocked the southern portion of a major intersection. Broken glass, debris and twisted metal spread as far as the eye could see. Partial remains of a horribly disfigured SUV sat on a flat bed. A mangled sedan was on its side in the middle of the pavement. News reports said an SUV with four passengers ran a red light at a high rate of speed at 3 a.m. and crashed into a sedan. Two dead, three injured, two critically. I immediately wondered if any of those in t

    Now paging George Washington, used as a bookmark [opinion] (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    George Washington is literally in the pages of history. A book on the coffee table has money hanging out of it — not play money, real money, as in a $1 bill. I know in an instant the book belongs to a 12-year-old granddaughter. The girl is an avid reader. She won the Reader Award in her class three times last year, which translated into three free pizzas. The grand with the book oozing money was helping us rake leaves last fall when she suddenly disappeared. I looked all around and couldn’t find
