The Specter Factor

The most friendless senator of them all -- unless you factor in John Benedict Arnold Kerry. Plus much more.

(Page 4 of 13)

Thanks to Lawrence Henry for his piece on one of life's sweet habits.

Many of my friends are actors and musicians with no children or familial commitments. They have the free time and luxury to take naps at will. I have four kids and two jobs so I've missed out on many siestas during the past 11 years.

But, there are days when one of the kids is sick and I'll take the afternoon off to nurse them back to health. Downstairs in the family room, I'll wrap the two of us in a blanket and put on our favorite Arthur cartoon. Their cherub red cheeks, boogery noses and breathing through the mouth makes me feel like I'm Mother Teresa.

Here's to the hope that one of them has a sick classmate.
