Weekend Wrapup
I’m getting quite the collection of bridge pictures from my bike rides. Unfortunately, this bike ride was cut short due to rain on Saturday, but Lauren, Tara, Neil and I still managed to make the most of it. My bike is now taking a brief vacation across the river in Williamsburg until I can grab

On the Upswing
I hope — got slammed with a touch of the plague and stayed home from work yesterday, armed with the usual weapons. Am headed in to the office today, but am picking up some tissues with lotion on the way to work.

Some Much Needed Direction
I have lived in the same apartment for six years. During that time, every time I have a friend over who hasn’t visited previously, they generally wander around the hallway for a while when they get off the elevator before they find my apartment.

Sometimes Cyber-Stalking Is Good

His name didn’t come to me immediately, but we were definitely friends back then, although we hadn’t seen each other since I left Boston in 1994. I spun around after

Shrimp, Lobsters, and BLT’s
Ah, Labor Day weekend at the beach. This time, I was actually not staying in my usual digs, but rather down the block at Margarita Villas. Some of the folks back at the house took to calling us "the Others," a la Lost, but quite a few people stopped by to visit. We managed to

Back to School
Yes, it’s lovely that the NYU kids are back in town, but do they have to travel in packs of a dozen or more, taking over the sidewalk?!? I really wanted to start throwing elbows last night as I was trying to navigate my way home, carrying bags of groceries. Grrrr.
