    Some folks think that I know everybody, and I’ll admit, I do know quite a large number of people. I also try to do my best to keep in touch with people I’ve met over the years, even if it’s not as frequently as I’d prefer. This fall, when I went out to the beach

  • Saturday Afternoon Ramblings

    Tien called them "glommitts," Manhattan Transfer called them "bum-finger gloves."  Call them what you will, but I absolutely love mine.  I now have two pairs, and they are a savior when dealing with cell phones, metrocards, and everything else.

  • Another Birthday Bash

    Birthday Girls Originally uploaded by Sweet Blog o’ Mine. Ellen and I co-hosted a birthday party at the Magician last night. It was so wonderful to have such a rich cross-section of all the folks in my life: friends from high school, college, camp, bloggers, wine club society, and other assorted riff-raff with whom I

  • Flickr and Whatnot

    This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing. Yes, I’ve joined flickr — will play with it a bit this weekend.  Not sure what the advantages or disadvantages are of using it vs. just posting stuff up on my blog, but I’ll give it a whirl — after all, it’s free!

  • Playing With Your Food

    This is what happens when you’re a regular at a place that serves condiments along with their cheese plate and they want to make you laugh: Plus, there haven’t been nearly enough pictures up here this week.  This piece of art is composed of two of the amarone cherries, a dab of the apricots with
