Could It Be?
Unless something really bizarre happens between now and midnight, I will have made it through 2006 with no jackasses of which to speak. Yes, it’s true, there was a blip a few months back, but after giving it some thought, I’ve chosen to take him out of the running. The incident in question was so

The Birthday Girls
Welcome to the world, Maya! It was very kind of Erika to hold her in for an extra day just so we can share a birthday. I already told Maya not to allow anyone to get her any combination bday/chanukah presents — it’s never too early for such important advice. Congrats again to Erika and

You Say It’s Your Birthday . . .
It’s my birthday too, yeah! Gotta love when your first phone call of the day is Matt singing that song to you (thanks, pumpkin!). 36 is off to a great start so far, and now I’m off to the gym to continue on the right path. Next on the agenda is brunch with some family,

Takin’ it Slow
There’s still more Paris to recount, but I’ve been writing for Gothamist for a while tonight, so I don’t really have it in me right now. Had a solid weekend — not too busy, but not too slow. Friday night I had drinks after work with Gabriella, then we joined up with some beach house

Paris Recap, Part 2
After sleeping for 11 hours, I geared up and wandered across the Seine to the Jardin du Luxembourg, where my Dad told me that he saw many Parisians jogging. I got completely lost on the way there, but had a lovely walk, and after a good run I wandered back along a different route, taking

Paris Recap, Part 1
I’ve gotten a bit of grief from the peanut gallery that I haven’t given a detailed rundown of my Paris trip, so here goes. As a bit of background, with the exception of my last night, I stayed at a studio apartment owned by Blue Marble, the company through which I’ve done my bike trips
