Hi friends. Here’s this week’s column. If you know me, you know I’m a big advocate of the institution of marriage. (I hope to be back in it one day myself.) But actually, I think I was rather encouraged by what was meant to be a discouraging piece “I Don’t – The Case Against Marriage” in Newsweek magazine recently. See what you think!

Love and Marriage and that Crazy Horse and Carriage!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

If you have not seen “Toy Story 3″ please run – do not walk, run! – to the nearest theater to do so! It’s been decades since I sobbed at a movie. But all that changed last weekend. . .

Tears and Fears and “Toy Story 3″

Have a great weekend, and thanks for stopping by!

Leave it to the French to demand the Gross Domestic Product measurement be replaced with a “Gross National Assessment” measurement. That might be fine. Until other people’s money runs out!

The Happiness Factor

Thanks for stopping by, and hope you have a happy weekend!

The trend toward “renewing” marriage vows is, I think, on the same continuum as easy divorce. What part of “till death do us part” did these folks not mean the first time?

When Once is Not Enough?

P.S. – I’m also now posting my columns on Facebook. For those who have asked, when the Chicago Sun-Times has room for the full version of the column, I link there. Otherwise, I link to the full-length syndicated version from Scripps Howard News.

Hi friends – because of a crazy busy week, this week’s column did not get posted on Thursday! But here you go, and just in time for the big night.

Just a few weeks ago I wrote about how rare it is for a woman to ask a man to marry her. (Thank goodness!) Here’s an exception. This woman surprised her beau and asked him beau to marry her – in front of a crowd at their college graduation. I admit it – I have to believe that this fellow had to have been totally emasculated! Or he should have been! Even Harry Smith who interviewed them later noted the fellow was at some point going to have to get on his knee to solidify the deal.

I am Woman, Hear me Roar?

Hi Friends – I wanted to let you know I’ll be on “Hannity” tonight night (Friday) about 9:30 eastern time, and “Fox and Friends” Saturday morning, about 7:20 eastern time, both from New York City. It’s always fun to be there and be part of the mix on FOX.

I expect lots of discussions on Elena Kagan. This was also the subject of my column this week:

Elena Kagan – I am Woman, Hear me Roar?

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi – here’s this week’s column. We are in prime time “wedding season.” A lot has changed about the modern
nuptial ceremony – but one thing has remained constant, and it’s no accident.

Hi friends – here’s this week’s column about a “forgotten” birthday. (No worries, I had a great one anyway!)
