Yes, It’s Been A While
I know, I know. I haven't been posting. I've been busy. And preoccupied. Mea culpa. Will you ever forgive me? I'll do my best to update you on my latest adventures, including some new additions to the apartment, some rearranging, and a trip to sunny Florida this past weekend. Well . . . some of

Good Lord
It's been way too long since I've posted. Don't have much of an excuse, I suppose. The weekend recap consisted of a 1/2 day Friday to have lunch at Ko (AMAZING — recap later), digesting the rest of the evening, many episodes of Season 4 of The Wire, brunch in Brooklyn, a pajama party (complete

My Exciting Life
To you, this is an ordinary toilet. To me, this is a shining moment in my life as a homeowner. I bought and installed a BRAND NEW TOILET SEAT!!! Look how perfectly it fits! It doesn't wiggle! And, last but not least, it is made of eco-friendly wood and the chrome fasteners match the chrome

Random Weekend Thoughts
My abs hurt so much from Friday's training session that it hurts to twist to either side. Also hurts to sneeze. Being around a dozen children is exhausting. I'm still pretty convinced that I don't want to live in the suburbs. When a child laughs at something you do, it makes you laugh too. I'd

Starting My Next Year Off Right
I began my 38th year with a trip to the gym — I feel younger already! The rest of the day brings shopping and cooking for a very small dinner party tonight. The guest of honor is a duck, which was given to me as a gift (someone knows how to win me over). I've

Holiday Checklist
Chanukah gifts — done Wad of cash for the building staff — done Granola— done (double batch!) Toffee — done (although mangled half the batch, so will be distributing a lot less this year) Eat, drink, eat, drink, eat, drink, lather, rinse, repeat — ongoing through New Year's Fix up the GOD DAMN APARTMENT —

Jam-Packed
What you see here is just one jam-packed part of my weekend — a cooler jam-packed full of grass-fed and finished beef from a farm in CT, taking the ride home with us on Metro North. This is only a portion of the half of a cow that we picked up — the rest is

Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Sigh. I am not feeling quite ready for this weather. It's a balmy 26 degrees out (about 16 with the wind chill), which makes me just want to snuggle up and hibernate. Instead, I'll pile on the layers and head out into what looks like a gorgeous sunny day to go to the gym and

I Am Not a Morning Person
But DAMN it's great to wake up in Frankfurt and see this!!!
