I've been to tons of weddings and I always make it a point to track down a MOH if there is one and dance with her. So much fun and such good behind-the-scenes intel. I've been a Man of Honor twice and in neither instance did I reveal anything particularly interesting about the woman getting married or her family, so

Yeah, how exactly would a corporation be 'born'?

My mother didn't get a dishwasher until 1987. I didn't have a dishwasher until we bought our apartment...in 2008. (And living in New York we still don't have a garbage disposal! They were illegal until fairly recently, since it was feared if people had them they would overload the rickety sewer system, and they're

I'm pretty sure that when Diahann Carroll played Dominique Deveraux on "Dynasty" she wore fairly regal caftans.

He could have made a Michigan Womyn's Music Festival analogy. He went to school practically next door (Ohio University.)

My husband does this. We have TVs all over the apartment and at least one is always on when he's around. We're early risers so why not watch the Dubai Open at 5:30 in the morning and than at 5:40 leave it blaring while he walks the dog? Thank God for whoever invented the mute button.

I never thought I'd be recommending this but you should watch "Real Housewives of Melbourne." I like to parrot back to them what they've just said in my best faux-Melbourne accent.

I hope that elevator had a floor-to-ceiling mirror, like so many do. I usually keep my hair really short, like Marine boot camp short, so I'm not in the habit of combing of my hair. When I let it grow out I often forget to comb it so I look like I stepped on a live electrical wire. I'm boring: when I'm alone in an

And a Happy Hannukah to you!

This is kind of a ghoulish question but did you or any of the recipients happen to save any of the invitations? Maybe one could be donated to the Museum. One of its missions is to humanize the experience (who among us has not received a wedding invitation?) and to make visitors aware of how the WTC was woven into the

Did you know that Chrissie Hynde is releasing an autobiography later this year? If not, this news is my early Christmas present to you!

Tell your mother that one day someone will invent winter coats and boots and indoor heating and that wasteland north of Jacksonville will be habitable.

And don't forget, April 15th is right around the corner!

Hedy Lamarr's The Ecstasy and Me.

Possibly the best situation is when you work for yourself but are called to work in clients' offices now and again.

I thought that too. The Boston Magazine articles has photos, presumably of her car and her neighborhood. Looks like single family houses and double- and triple-deckerville. And she has a car parked on the street, so in the Back Bay she is not. Suburban-ish Brighton or West Roxbury? Or maybe Somerville or Medford or

If it's any consolation I understood your joke and laughed heartily. But I'm a guy who appreciates any and all sexual innuendo.

That is hilarious. Mary was actually his great-great-grandmother. His great-grandmother, Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, might have said, "We all love surveying bomb damage during the Blitz and flower shows."

That is excellent. I'm married but we just went to the registry office, no ceremony or reception at all. Someday we're going to throw a big party and I am going to demand bird of prey stamps for the invites. My husband won't get the joke but plenty of our friends will. (I was the vulture in this relationship; he was

I agree, I'm guessing B school. The Law School folks seem to be a little more self-aware and they don't have time to terrorize restaurants. The B school people (George W. Bush is a graduate) seem to have a slightly more relaxed academic schedule.
