It’s All In The Wrist
Last Thursday night was our firm’s holiday party, and don’t be frightened, but I was responsible for the thing. Normally my assistant plans the whole thing and I just sign whatever she puts in front of me, but she abandoned … Continue reading
The Story Of My People: Fitness

A Fine Saturday
Before the Frankenstorm hit, I enjoyed a really nice Saturday. I hung with some girlfriends; we went to see the Women Who Rock exhibit at the National Museum of Women in the Arts, had a nice lunch, and made our way … Continue reading
Poor Dan
Since I launched my blog Dan and I have a new ritual; each morning he reads my posting from the night before while I beg him to let me sleep for 10 more minutes. Repeatedly. Dan doesn’t have an easy … Continue reading
