Lights Out*
NYU has been renovating a building on Washington Square North for quite some time now.

Saying Goodbye
A very close friend of the family passed away this week. She was a model of patience, calm, and generosity, and infused our family with her warmth, quiet wisdom, and subdued humor during the 25 plus years she was a part of our lives. When I went up to Maine this past September, Jennie was

Writing on the Wall
Or, more accurately, writing on paper. I realized this morning that in this day and age, you can date someone for a decent amount of time and never (or at least rarely) really have the opportunity to see their handwriting. When so much correspondence is done via email, the art of the handwritten note gets
