Even if I Leave Later. . .
I’m going to enjoy the hell out of my summer in NYC. Manhattan Transfer has the right idea about NYC in the summertime. Grab a drink and join the party.

Biking, Air Guitars, and Meat
A combo that adds up to a great weekend. As I mentioned earlier, I have two good friends moving in less than a month — one to Austin and one to San Francisco. We met years ago participating in the AIDS Ride, and have been cycling together ever since. Friday night I took it easy

Ladies Who Blog
The other night I had the pleasure of attending Nichelle‘s party at Lava Gina, celebrating the arrival of Venus. She had gathered together a batch of smart, cool people, primarily women, and many lovely ladies who blog were in attendance. Some, like Nichelle, I had communicated with before, but had never met it person, and

Run, Laren, Run!
The marketing geniuses at Nike figured out a way to motivate me to run a 5K: it’s Run Hit Wonder — a road race/concert with artists like Kajagoogoo, General Public, A Flock of Seagulls, Tommy Tutone, Ton Loc, and Devo.* I am their perfect target audience — a child of the 80’s who might possibly

Graduation/Yay Maine Update
I’m finally home early enough that I have more than five minutes before crawling into bed exhausted. So now, the weekend update. The weekend started out with a road trip. Haven’t done that in ages. But, you put three single women in a car, and the subject always comes back to guys. At one point,

The Return from Down East
I made it back from Maine — my brother successfully graduated from college, I survived my final college party (co-llege!), and I managed to have lobster in one form or another four times in three days. What more can you ask for? The full report, I suppose. Tune in later in the week for the

Weekend Highlights
All in all, a fairly mellow weekend, but there were definitely some high points. Met up with a few friends on Friday night at Fuel, the hip lounge, which used to be Phebe’s, the dive with cheap pitchers. I remembered back to my first day of law school orientation when I was the hero for

On the Bayou
Okay, it’s time for the full report. Day 1 We arrived on Wednesday and picked up our first po-boys on the way home from the airport from a local joint out in Lakeview, where we were staying. Ah . . . welcome to New Orleans. After lunch, we followed up with a stroll around the

Goin’ Down to the Big Easy
The wait is over. It’s finally time. Truth be told, I’ve been waiting for this moment since last year’s trip. Wasn’t sure I’d make it this year, but thanks to a very hospitable college friend and a travel partner with a flexible schedule, I am once again able to make the pilgrimage to Jazz Fest

Hot Dogs for All Tastes
I started off my weekend at the Yankees/Red Sox game. A good college friend, a die-hard Sox fan, was in town, and I have to admit that I am somewhat of a closeted Sox fan myself. Truth be told, I don’t care much one way or the other, but when the Sox play the Yankees,
