About two weeks ago friends of mine invited me to their home to meet a local political candidate running for office. It was a low key, event, with two dozen or so people of all ages. Before the candidate was to talk, our friend asked each of us present to introduce ourselves and tell a lit…
Somehow, everything in my life seems to come down to shoes in some way or another, metaphorically or literally speaking.
Within a few short weeks I went from giving TDH “the boot” as he called it…to both of us entertaining the idea of giving our relationship a reboot.
You can l…
Recently, in my newly found unfolding relationship with TDH (Tall Dark Handsome) I became acutely aware of what romance truly looks like as an over 60.
Since I’ve only been dating him for just about three months it threw me a little off guard when he offered me the keys to his place, …
I somehow unwittingly, or perhaps somewhat wittingly, backed myself into a corner. I dared to blurt out, in my last column, for all to see, my nerve induced surprise encounter at a holiday party meeting a tall, dark, handsome guy from Brooklyn, that right off the bat appeared to have the p…
Even though you didn’t ask for it, I thought I’d give some Kvetch in the City sage advice.
If you’re married, stay married. Even if you can’t stand your spouse, take it from me, please do yourself a favor and stay married. Even if you’ve both gained 30 pounds and don’t talk an…
New Year’s Day.
Being one to revel in the festivities of secular holidays, specifically New Year’s Day, I tend to buy into the optimism of new beginnings and the idea of a new start. I mean, who doesn’t like a new start. I pretty much feel that way every morning when I wake up. A ne…
“Ohhh, I wanna dance with somebody, with somebody who loves me.” Whitney Houston
I love to dance. Back in the day, home alone, I’d crank up the volume and get to it. It’s funny/not funny to me how the things I love to do the most are the things I seem to do the least.
Now that I…
Swipe right. That’s right. I’m swiping right. And not on some stranger in the ether.
I’m swiping right on gratitude, giving thanks, and living life to the fullest.
That’s right. You heard right.
Okay…enough with the rights already…you get it.
Since my mid to late fifties, it…
Remember when you’d return to school, and teachers would have you write a page about your summer vacation? Although a month overdue, I thought it might be cathartic to put my summer vacation in writing. I’m still trying to make sense of it since it turned out to be the kind of vacation i…
Kvetch in the City
By Carrie Mills
My new favorite initials…WJH.
What Just Happened.
I feel like my whole life, and life in general these days can be summarized in those three little words.
Along those lines…stay with me here...I discovered a long time ago, that I am inclined to…
Who needs all those streaming services when we’ve got a real-life drama series to watch every day, “As the World Burns,” a new global series presented by a man and planet earth? It’s ongoing. Until it’s not.
On more days than not, on every level, it feels like the world …
“Always wear clean underwear in case you are ever in an accident.” – Marion Horowitz (My Mother)
Yesterday I went to drop off some of my new jewelry designs at a beautiful, high-end lingerie shop that sells my work. “Darlin’” is the name of the boutique in the hip, exploding a…
Last night I watched an exciting video conference unveiling the first photograph of the Milky Way’s black hole that resides in our galaxy. This was apparently very big news, finally capturing a photo of the enormous and mysterious black hole that could lead to discoveries and possible a…
History tends to repeat itself unless the lesson is learned. Whenever I visit Manhattan, I get back on the dating apps and feel a tinge more hopeful (oops…lesson not learned.) Because I feel “home” and a feeling of being in my element, it’s an easy fool. Th…
I need to clear something up. I’m fine. Apparently, there was some voiced concern from my last column that I was not doing okay. I was writing my truth last month of traditionally feeling a bit blue during the months of January and February. It seems to h…
