What's up at robinabrahams.com
Happy Wednesday! I thought I'd catch you all up on what's going on at robinabrahams.com. First, though, I had to share this--a comment that a friend of mine left when I posted Sunday's column on Facebook:
If you want to do things like have breakfast in your car while others are hoping to get into the parking space you occupy, why not sit in the passenger seat? That way it won't look as if your car is about to leave, since it has no driver.
Brilliant. Anyway, back at the ranch ...
A review of NBC's "Kings," and what works and doesn't.
Etiquette as a blunt instrument, or the difference between rude and hurtful (and what the Hadassah lady said to me).
A Yahoo news roundup that gently and absurdly bounced from pirates to parrots to pet tricks.
Chapters of my book put through Wordle: the introduction, food, religion, health & disability, and pets.
Can self-obsession be explained by humility as well as narcissism?
