  • A Sweet and Healthy New Year

    Whew. Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m incredibly busy, yet I have nothing much to show for it. What the hell have I been doing, and why am I so damn exhausted? Well, let’s see. Work is heating back up. I’m trying to clean up my financial act a bit, with the long-term goal of

    The New York Post provides a list of places you can eat for under $2, including one of my personal favorites, Fried Dumpling on Mosco Street in Chinatown. Now get eating and let me know what you think!

  • Recovery

    Yes, it’s Saturday night and I’m home. Alone. Blogging. Granted I had dinner with my brother, but I am happy to have some time to myself on the couch. Last night ended up much later than I had intended, and I have work to do before heading off to DC for work tomorrow afternoon, but

  • Blog-o-riffic!

    Last night was one of those multi-event social evenings, but this one had a blog theme going. First a food blogger gathering at in Vino in the East Village (on a side note — if you haven’t been there yet, go. Friendly, helpful staff, and solid, classic antipasti), organized by the delightful Vittles Vamp. Also

  • And We’re Back

    Made it back safely from Maine on a ridiculously early morning flight, and have a ton of work to dive into, but I just wanted to give a quick plug for Fresh Direct — how fantastic is it that I can place an order from anyplace with internet access, and time the delivery so that

  • A Bicycle Built for Two

    I just returned from a weekend in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, at the wedding of my dear friends Doug and Leora. Doug I have known for about a decade at this point, and it was several years ago while training for our second AIDS Ride that we both had the pleasure of meeting Leora. It has always

  • A Picture is Worth . . .

    Because I know that’s what you really want, anyway. The fun part about going out with bloggers, even if it’s just a casual night out for wings, is that whatever silly, goofy thing you do, it’s all over the internet the next day. The wings per person consumption chart. Some of the lovely ladies who

  • It’s a Small World After All

    Friday night, for the second time in a week, I ventured to the Upper West Side. For those of you who know me, you realize that this is somewhat of a big deal — I’m one of those annoying people who rarely goes out above 14th Street, and would sooner haul out to Brooklyn than

  • Triple Punch

    Last night was a triple combo — Tien’s wing night, a trip to NYC Icy, and karaoke. What else does one need, really? And this picture is really just to get back at Jake for the equally flattering shot he has up of me, which will conveniently be up for the next month while he’s
