Author: Karen Galatz

A former newspaper and television journalist, my national news credentials include the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour and the Nightly Business Report. I created, produced, and anchored a ground-breaking business news broadcast for PBS stations in Nevada, an effort that led to an Edward R. Murrow award and an Emmy nomination. Now based in Berkeley, Ca., I am writing a collection of short stories and personal essays. I am the author of Muddling through Middle Age, a weekly humor blog, recently featured on the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop website.

I’ve Been Naughty. Now I’m Getting Spanx-ed

November 29, 2019 Karen Galatz
I've been naughty. Now I'm getting Spanx-ed

‘Tis the season to over-indulge, true. But, ’tis, alas, also the season to sequin, shimmy, and shake – all of which challenge chubby, out-of-shape, middle-aged me. And while I can still wedge myself into my […]

Oscar the Grouch and Me

October 24, 2019October 24, 2019 Karen Galatz
Oscar the Grouch

Dirty, disgusting grocery carts. People who say “Let’s do lunch,” but don’t. Dropped phone calls. These are just a few of my pet peeves. But I’ve got a million of ‘em. Well, six of them. And […]

Hitting It Big on “Antiques Roadshow”

Hitting it big on the Antiques Roadshow

Inspired by the glory – and greed – of Antiques Roadshow, we’ve all got one. That one precious item we believe is valuable beyond our wildest dreams. The one that if we chose to sell […]

Amazon Warrior – Wonder Woman and Me

August 25, 2019 Karen Galatz

I am an Amazon warrior. Not like Wonder Woman, all tricked out in hot pants, a bustier, and bullet-repelling bracelets, but still … I’m an Amazon warrior because almost every single day I’m building impressive […]

Sartorial Sins of the Flesh: Holey Jeans!

July 14, 2019July 15, 2019 Karen Galatz
sartorial sins

I may sound old-fashioned, but I think some of today’s lapses in sartorial style are downright sins. The way we dress and adorn ourselves would surely make my mother and grandmother shudder and shriek! In […]

Millennials Don’t Give a Sheet

June 21, 2019 Karen Galatz

I couldn’t sleep last night. As I tossed and turned, I read an article that got me in a dither: Millennials don’t give a sheet! That’s right – they are rejecting top sheets. So, of […]

If Mother Nature Calls, I’m Out

May 28, 2019 Karen Galatz

Some people like the outdoors. Some people like roughing it. Some people I ain’t. If Mother Nature calls, I’m out. Born in New York City, my idea of roughing it is taking the subway instead […]

Charlton Heston

The original 10 Commandments served us well for quite some time, but in these Modern Times, I modestly propose an electronic update – 10 tech commandments – to the stone tablets Moses first delivered! Yes, […]
