Аs I've mentioned many times, sitting through graduation ceremonies is one of life's drearier milestones.

I spent most of my 20s dating older men, and I really wish I had spent that time dating men my own age who were going through the same experiences I was. I totally understand the appeal of a mature, dashing older man over fellow twenty-somethings who are still figuring things out. And, true, a fling with an older man can be instructive in many ways, and no doubt he finds you attractive.

Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.

People who have undergone a loss get a fair amount of leeway on their behavior.

The biggest problem is that people want to tell the whole story, and they write letters that are way longer than anything I could possibly run.

I can't imagine anything that would signal more clearly that life goes on and joy can follow tragedy than your having a much wanted child.

I am against lying, but just because someone asks a question does not mean you have to answer it.
