Be still, my cougar heart!

Six months after he won the title of American Idol, my way-too-young-for-me heartthrob, David Cook, is releasing his first CD today.
Marvin Gaye has his way with our national anthem

A sneak peek into "Guyland"
Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008
My mind would appear to be on the opposite sex today, but I wanted to share two interviews with the author of "Guyland: The perilous world where boys become men." As a mother of a 26-year-old "guy," I found his revelations fascinating... and more than a little frightening.
Ambivalent about Anders
Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2008
I wanted to like Anders Holst's music. I really did. He's a sexy looking, Swedish man (dig those heavy-lidded eyes!) and his voice is rich and soulful.
Why do men die first?
Thursday, July 10, 2008
Before my dad died in March, I might have brushed past the new health book called "Why Men Die First." I've always been aware that women live longer than men, but never fully considered why until an interview with the book's author this morning on the Today show.
More evidence that women are smarter than men
Monday, July 7, 2008
I'm really not a man-basher. I love men. Under the right circumstances and in the right light, I sometimes prefer men over women. But the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, makes me wonder why scampering like scared little rabbits from a half-ton beast is considered a show of manhood.

Just in time for your Fourth of July block party, a scientific study is released showing that eating watermelon can have the same effect on a man as swallowing that "little blue pill."
File this under "Worst Ideas Ever"

"Manpris" (or men's capris). Need I say more?
Today, better tweezers. Tomorrow, world peace

The Tweezerman saga is a classic American story of a guy with a dream rising from rags to riches, but the truly amazing part is that the whole thing would never have happened if not for that painful moment when Dal LaMagna, who is Tweezerman, got 32 splinters in his butt during an erotic interlude on a rooftop in Venice Beach, Calif.
New wrinkle: Men having plastic surgery
Saturday, May 17, 2008
Increasing numbers of men are waging war against the sagging of age with plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures, convinced that a little work isn't just for wives or Hollywood hotties.
Author tells guys: Housekeeping is easier than you think, and it might help your love life

Guys, we have a few words for you: Man up and grab yourself a feather duster.
I love the way you annoy me
Saturday, May 10, 2008
Now that my wife and I have been married for 30 years, family and friends have suggested that for putting up with me for so long, Sue deserves to be the first living person canonized by the Catholic Church. I, they add, deserve to be shot from a cannon.
Call them what you like, but these kids are all right
Wednesday, May 7, 2008
Whether it be serving in the Iraq war, participating in a church's relief mission, renewing an interest in teaching or nursing, or volunteering at a retirement home, Echo Boomers are doing things today that none of their parents ever experienced. We would do well to focus on that.
The hair isn't the thing
Saturday, April 19, 2008
