Mark Madness
March 2, 2007 | Leave a Comment
For twenty days each spring, 65 college basketball teams meet on courts across the nation, determined to dominate their opponents and declare themselves the champion. This is called March Madness. However, 365 days of the year, the same cutthroat level of competition is played out all over our house. Unlike the NCAA Tournament, you won’t find team players: No, in the Mark household it’s every man (or woman!) for himself. We call this “Mark Madness.”
Adult-Onset ADD

“Come on missy, quit wasting time goofing around on Google and IM’ing your buddies!” a stern voice bellows across the kitchen. “Put down your cell phone, stop staring at the television and start paying attention to your assignment!” it scolds.
“Mom!” my daughter continues, “You know you’ve got a column to write and it’s due tomorrow!”
Blockbuster Summer She-quels
August 4, 2006 | Leave a Comment
One of the coolest things to do during the dog days of summer is to chill out at the movies. Unfortunately, so far I’ve found that most of this year’s offerings are more lackluster than blockbuster.
There just haven’t been enough good chick flicks I can relate to. I’ve taken the liberty of doing a little rewriting and think that I may have some hit sequels for next summer.
Riding In On a Dinosaur

During a recent visit, my kids asked their sprightly Grammy how old she was. “Oh kids,” she answered coyly, “I rode in on the dinosaurs.”
Although I hate to admit that I’m much like my mother-in-law, I immediately realized that she had just unearthed some common ground! I, too, ride a dinosaur every day!
Stringing The Bikini…

Swimsuit season has officially begun, so I guess its time to throw in the towel and admit defeat. The deadline for my weighty New Years resolution to shed thirty pounds by the start of summer has come and gone … and yet it still remains very much unresolved. And to think, 2006 was to be The Year of the Bikini.
Losing My Cool…
June 6, 2006 | Leave a Comment
The other night, I was trying to explain to my seven year old twin boys, Jared & Jasper, what an oxymoron is. It’s you when have a combination of contradictory words that just don’t seem to go together. I tried to illustrate with some examples like, “jumbo shrimp”, “awfully nice” and “pretty ugly”. “Oh”, chimed in my ten year old daughter, Sydney, without missing a beat - “You mean like ‘cool mom’?”
