The Ice Cream Sundae Must Be Stopped

This childhood treat has stormed New York restaurant menus. Our critic isn’t having it.

Pete Wells writes truth.
Go out for a Sundae.  It is not a dessert.
Nor are they found in deserts.

It’s Mueller, Not Trump, Who Is Draining the Swamp

The special counsel, avatar of justice, is revealing the depth of white-collar corruption before our eyes.

The Trump administration is like the Mississippi delta, all swamp.
Draining the delta would be allowing the land to fall away from the water leaving an arm of the sea that is not a swamp.

Why Is the Greatest Love of All Also the Hardest?

A server, student and abuse survivor who longs to be a writer wonders why she is so supportive of her colleagues, but not herself.

Self love slides easily to self abuse.

Self appreciation must be joined with an appreciation of other flawed persons.
None of humanity is godlike.
Many are worthy.
Blind love always is disappointed.

Spring Fashion: ’80s Irreverence Makes a Comeback

Today’s spin on the decade’s classics features wild faux fur, leather dresses, punk-rock ruffles and strong suiting.

I am missing the humor that must accompany irreverence
if it is not to be a gratuitous insult.

Think Cake Walk.

A Taste for Renovation

For most people, remodeling is stressful and disruptive. But for a few homeowners, it’s a passion.

I am not so orderly.
My designed environment must tolerate my chaotic mind.

Who’s a Good Boy?

We speak to our little dogs much more lovingly than we do to our little boys. How can we change that?

Ok.  
The problem is the transition.

This Is the Beirut We Wish You Could See

Many people bristled at the new movie “Beirut.” But nuanced depictions of Lebanon and its people exist. Here’s what to watch and read.

Ok.

Woman’s Dismembered Body Is Found in a Brooklyn Park

A passer-by saw a head and torso in Canarsie Park and called the police. Investigators were looking into who the woman was and how long her body had been there.

Getting rid of a body is always a problem.

I will want a cause of death before I can guess at a story.

The medical examiner will get a name and a cause of death.
