Am I so naive as to think that married men -- including my own husband -- do not harbor these thoughts?
What a year this has been, filled with drama and noise, Much ado about lots -- those Republican boys. Remember them -- Santorum, Cain, Perry, the rest? Romney, finally their choice -- still, Obama did best.
In reflecting on all the people who passed away this year, I am thinking of Nora Ephron and how this witty, wise and loving woman taught us not only how to live but also how to die.
I agree with Delia Ephron; there is nothing like a good blow dry or a fabulous haircut or a perfect set of highlights to cheer me up when I'm down.
Nora Ephron showed us through both her characters and her life that smart girls finish first. Let's live up to her example -- and quit apologizing for it!

Have we become so vigilant about how we look that we've lost sight of the fact that we're all in this together?
I don't know why Nora took an interest in me. I like to think that maybe she saw her younger self in me.
For so many of us, she gave us happy endings when it didn't seem like there were real ones on the horizon.
"Hey Meg-a-la," shouted Rosie O'Donnell, trying to get Meg Ryan's attention at, yikes, Alice Tully Hall, just after the memorial tribute to writer, director Nora Ephron.
We're remembering with gratitude the fifteen times Nora Ephron graced the 92Y stage. She talked about filmmaking, writing, women, aging, politics, AIDS, the differences between men and women and much more.
