  • The Final Countdown

    In case you're keeping track, the NYC Triathlon is less than 48 hours away!!  First, the #drop10beforetri update — didn't quite make it to 10lbs down, but I dropped 7.8, and feel pretty good about that. Here's hoping not to undo it all in NOLA next week.  I plan to lose the rest (and undo whatever damage

    Next Wednesday morning I'm heading down to New Orleans for Tales of the Cocktail, a multi-day party conference revolving around all things boozy (and in my case, of course, food).

  • San Francisco, Day 2

    In a sad attempt to undo some of the caloric damage from the prior day, I started my day with a run in Golden Gate Park, which was lovely.  Although Wednesday had been sort of cold and drizzly, Thursday was absolutely sunny and gorgeous.  Through the magic of Facebook and Twitter, I learned that two

  • Lovely Lady Liberty

    It's a gorgeous view regardless, but it's even better when it's from a boat on the Manhattan Cocktail Classic Three Hour Tour.  Well done, Tippling Point!  Photo credit may or may not be Ray Raymond, who is a great deal taller than I am and took some great pics with my camera. Sorry for the

    I'm in Washington DC at the annual Pro Bono Institute.  It's the second day of the conference, and my third day down here, and it has been very successful so far.  On the work front, I had a good meeting with the folks in my DC office about focusing on some new pro bono projects,
