Near-Death Experiences
Near death experiences are pretty simple; they end one way…or the other. It’s the “near” part that one gets to live to tell and that part is what I am going to tell you about now.See More

My Alter Ego
I am Sasha Fierce. No, that one has already been taken.Pop singer Beyoncé Knowles' alter-ego is "Sasha Fierce". Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken and more glamorous side that comes out when she’s onstage. Beyoncé says, "I've created an alter ego: things I do when performing I would never do normally. I reveal things about myself that I wouldn’t do in an interview. I have out-of-body experiences [on stage]. If I cut my leg, if I fall, I don’t even feel it.…See More

There were many, many people in attendance at my daughter’s wedding a year and a half ago. Very few were from our side of the family and the many many were from Tony’s side; his friends, his family. One youngwoman who was there was in the middle of a competition to be declared the most FitPerson in America. She and I were not mistaken for each other. Itis with that clarification that I report what happened to me thismorning: I got…See More

Live Thanks
Around this time of year everyone starts to think about giving. Food banks and other charities count on the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas for a large part of their income. The Salvation Army has landed on the shores of grocery stores and shopping malls everywhere and I even received a Black Friday flyer over a week ago. (That was disorienting – I thought I had completely missed Thanksgiving!) Throughout the holiday-festooned months of November and December, there is always the…See More

Losing It
I’m dieting. Again. Both my husband and I are, but I’m clearly the expert. He’s only had to start watching his weight in recent years, as he grew up thin and lanky, never to be bothered by the number of calories or the latest diet. (The Ice Cream diet was one of my early favorites.) It’s only aging that has him keeping an eye on his intake—damned aging—otherwise he’d be scarfing down pasta unregulated by those pesky portion sizes or calorie counts. I, however, have been dieting since I was…See More

Cynthia Eastman commented on the blog post 'On Writing Loss'
"I guess, as writers, it's what we do. We write to process our experience and to make sense of the senseless. Does it always work? Even as we rail at the fates, we must get some relief because time and time again, we pick up pen and paper...and…"

Idiot
Main Entry: id·i·otFunction: nounDate: 14th centuryusually offensive; a foolish or stupid personOften, when I was doing a workshop or class on technology, I would open with a joke. I would tell the assembled technology novices that, “Most all computer problems are caused by an I-D-ten-tee error.” Some of the rapt class would nod and murmur knowingly. Then I would write it out on the whiteboard - “I-D-10-T”. And I would turn and smile…and hopefully there would be a round of chuckling in…See More

"Hi - I have to admit - sitting at the lake for a few days is wonderful! I look forward to meeting you one of these days. Until then - thanks for all the work you're doing for writers of all means. It's exciting to be a part of it all!"
Cynthia Eastman commented on the event 'Blogher Meetup in NYC'
"Sorry to miss such a great opportunity. I wish it was because I had other parties or conferences - or even work, but alas I'll be sitting at the edge of a lake in Maine. Have a wonderful time, everyone!"

"Regarding the deadline: I read it as that when I get up in the morning on Aug. 1, I still have until midnight to get my submission in! Like my taxes on Apr. 15!"

Polibrity? Celetician?
Politician - a leader engaged in civil administrationCelebrity - a widely known person; “he was a baseball celebrity”I’ve never claimed to be in the know about politics. I can identify most of the current players by sight on TV, but I leave most of the complaining and analysis to my high school list serv and Cokie Roberts. (Also, sadly, Daniel Schorr, but not anymore. RIP.) I tend to vote with my heart – with the other Democrats – and I’m usually pretty satisfied with the results. I listen to…See More
