Giving Tuesday: Support Press Freedom

November 27, 2018 by WendyB

I’ve been tempted all day to say something world-weary about Giving Tuesday — the way it’s supposed to absolve us of the shopping sins of Black Friday/Small Business Saturday/Cyber Monday yadda yadda — but there are so many good causes getting attention that I had to go all Moonstruck (mentally) on my jaded ass.

Wednesday’s Video: Get the FACTS

January 17, 2018 by WendyB

I collect a lot of things — vintage clothes, squish-faced animals, dust — but baseball caps are not on the list. I’m not very sporty, to say the least. In fact, I can’t remember ever noticing a baseball cap until late last year, when I saw a guy wearing a snapback embroidered with the word…

Throwback Thursday: 10 Years of Thanksgiving Posts

November 23, 2017 by WendyB

My blog turned 10 years old earlier this year, and I suddenly became curious about what — if anything — I’d published on Thanksgiving over the years. So here’s a look back at those posts. Nov. 22, 2007: I decided to look ahead to New Year’s Eve dresses. Why? I’m not sure. This was back…

Last night, MrB and I went to the annual International Press Freedom Awards dinner held by the Committee to Protect Journalists.

What Wendy Wore: Committee to Protect Journalists Dinner

December 3, 2014 by WendyB

The Committee to Protect Journalists gave out its International Press Freedom Awards at the Waldorf Astoria last Tuesday, November 25. I wrote about CPJ’s importance in that day’s post on the movie Rosewater, which tells the story of Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari. When Bahari was arrested in Iran in 2009 — and held and tortured…
