My Almost-Husband and the Old House

June 11, 2018 by WendyB

I’m all excited and nervous for someone I met once, briefly, four years ago. Sylvia was the nice woman who conducted the tour of my almost-husband Paul McCartney’s childhood home when I visited it in Liverpool in 2014. Sylvia informed us that Sir Paul’s brother, Mike, had visited the house at 20 Forthlin Road, and…

Musical Interlude: My Almost-Husband, Paul McCartney

August 12, 2016 by WendyB

Last Sunday, my real-life husband, MrB, accompanied me to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to see my almost-husband, Paul McCartney, in concert. I wore the t-shirt I got at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 2014. I didn’t take a full outfit photo, but here’s a candid picture of my face during the almost-three-hour-long show….

My Almost-Husband Paul McCartney Is 70

June 18, 2012 by WendyB

I can’t let the day go by without wishing a happy 70th birthday to my almost-husband Paul McCartney. I totally would have married the guy, but I have a thing for younger men and MrB doesn’t turn 70 till August. Call me shallow! But, seriously, I like what McCartney had to say about age in…

My Almost-Husband Paul McCartney Is a Husband

October 10, 2011 by WendyB

Congratulations to my almost-husband Paul McCartney for marrying the nice-seeming and very attractive Nancy Shevell. I think she’s perfect for him because she: doesn’t have a resume of crazy. can presumably tolerate annoying thumb activity, pot and the word “veggie.” Speaking of Paul, the New York Times called him “impossibly charming” in the Martin Scorsese…

My Almost-Husband Paul McCartney to Wed Nancy Shevell

May 6, 2011 by WendyB

Yesterday, at the benefit luncheon for the Trust for the National Mall (to which I wore my Alexander McQueen suit), I had a enjoyable and completely biased chat with a woman at my table about how the third time’s the charm when it comes to wives. In our experience, men who have been married twice…

Season’s Greetings for a Dumpster-Fire Year

December 25, 2020 by WendyB

If you happen to be in New York, the beautiful Christmas lights at Saks are worth seeing. Recently, I joined the activists of Rise and Resist to check out the light show, which includes a soundtrack. There’s nothing like hearing “Feliz Navidad” booming down 5th Avenue! Why is that song such an earworm? The thing…

Throwback Thursday: The Man, the Dog, and Liza

June 18, 2020 by WendyB

I’ve been away from this blog for 2 1/2 weeks — the longest I’ve gone without posting since I started on Blogger in July 2007. If you’ve visited me here at least a few times since November 2016, you can probably guess what I’ve been up to. I’ll get into the ultra-serious stuff in the…
