Weekend Wrapup Redux
Wrote an entire post that got deleted somehow. Grr. So, here goes take two. As with the last post, I am noting, for the record, that this post will do absolutely nothing to convince my father that I do not, in fact, spend all of my free time jaunting about the city eating and drinking.

Family Fun Time!
This weekend and today were family-filled and full of celebrations. First, I spent Saturday and Sunday celebrating the wedding of my cousin Jennifer to her lovely husband Dawson, then returned to attend my brother Bill's graduation(cum laude – smartypants!) from Brooklyn Law School today.

Pro Bono Rocks!
See? Our menu says so! Once again I had a wonderful visit to DC for the annual Pro Bono Institute and a visit to our DC office. I also, as usual, managed to eat and drink quite well while I was down there. Wednesday night was a lovely Indian dinner at Rasika, Thursday was a huge

Laughing Out Loud
Lately I have taken to downloading podcasts of Wait Wait . . . Don't Tell Me! and listening to them at the gym, on the bus/subway, and walking down the street. The result of this is basically that I burst out laughing every so often while I'm listening to them — I'm sure that to
