How I Spent My Summer Vacation
From what you know about me, do I seem like someone who should have ever been sent to camp? I hate the great outdoors, and I’m not exactly athletic. Nonetheless, when I was 12 or so, I found myself packing … Continue reading
Career Attempt Part II: Better Just Go Back To School
When I graduated from college, I pictured myself in a vaguely defined job where I had a big office and an assistant and lots of meetings. I never saw anything like that in the want ads, so I settled for … Continue reading

Baby Love
For the first time in many years I attended a baby shower today. Most of my friends aren’t really having babies anymore; these days they’re more likely touring college campuses than cruising the aisles at Babies R Us. I happen … Continue reading
Baby It’s Cold Out There (But It’s Warm Inside)
Would you believe I have even another story about a coat check in NY? Yes, it’s true. I was invited to a cocktail party at Gordon Ramsay’s fancy schmancy restaurant. I had a lovely time. After my coat wreckage incident several … Continue reading
