One time I started to write a book I called 'Animal Passion,' a history of my marriage in pets. The first chapter, about an extraordinary collie/German shepherd mix we'd adopted during our student days on a cattle farm in Virginia, appeared in the Oxford American, for which I was most grateful.
WELLS, Maine — It looks like a first-baseman's mitt, the sort you might see of a summertime evening at a local baseball diamond. Turn it clockwise 90 degrees, and it looks a bit like Nebraska, though that state is landlocked and lacks anything faintly resembling mighty Mount Katahdin.
Dear Doctors: My boyfriend says that lately I've been talking in my sleep and sometimes acting out my dreams. One time I actually hit him. He says it may be something called an REM sleep behavior disorder. This has been kind of scary, and I would like it to stop. Would going to a sleep clinic help?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I am a 30-yearold single woman who just moved to Washington, D.C. for a work opportunity. I previously lived in Minnesota, which is where I grew up and where all of my friends, family and newly exboyfriend live.

EAR HARRIETTE: The ongoing union strikes have left me jobless as a writer's assistant for a major entertainment company. It has been a year since I moved to Los Angeles for this job, and now I'm left with the difficult decision of staying in the city to search for a new job or returning home to my family and familiar surroundings.

Behind the scenes, the union and film executives are working overtime to come to an agreement. It is not easy, as both sides have their arguments. While they are at a standstill, you have to take action. Aggressively look for a job, preferably something that pays well and offers flexibility. Restaurant and bar jobs work well for people in the entertainment industry, but there are other options depending on your skills and experience.
very day, whether here in Mexico or in the U.S., I take a walk. Walking in the morning would be nice, but that's when I write, and so in the afternoon, I head out to see what the world looks like.

ORLANDO — 'We are pro-woman and we are pro-baby. And we must take care of both of them.' Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York paid tribute to Mother Mary Agnes Donovan and the Sisters of Life while not so subtly reminding those in the audience that the prolife movement requires love above all. His remarks were part of an introductory video for an award given by the Knights of Columbus to the group of religious women that works to support women in need.
Serious fasting is hard, even for a Catholic archbishop, especially when the aroma of spaghetti sauce is wafting through a church during an Italian community dinner.
