I’m Drivin’ in My Car
Well, not my car. A rental car. I (and my passagers) survived my first time driving around and out of Manhattan — somehow I managed to make it this far without doing it. It went just fine, for the record. OJ was full of friends, fun, food, music, a great run in the pine-scented air,

Off to the Wilds of Vermont
for our TENTH annual OJ (October soJourn). I can’t believe it either. Until I return: 2003, 2004, and 2005 OJ’s for your amusement. The rest are pre-blog, so I can’t help you.

Not Bitter
Things that made me smile yesterday:– leaving for work without a jacket;– listening to and singing along to Fidelity by Regina Spektor for the umpteenth time in a row (thanks, Ben!);– listening to Catch Me Now I’m Falling by the Kinks yet again;– dinner with Jimmy at Tides (go try the boulliabaise immediately if not

Weekend Wrapup
Brunch was a huge success (although I’m still perfecting my bloody mary recipe) and, as usual, evolved into an afternoon and evening of festivities, including watching baseball at the Stoned Crow and a trip to Otto (shocking, I know).

The article profiles people who, like me, were single and in their mid to late thirties (I’m still mid until at least December, I reckon), but then found themselves married,

Stay tuned until December (and amuse yourself by reading last year’s stories), and enjoy these sunset pictures from the beach

Transition to Fall

I’ve Got a Hot Date
It’s 9:40 p.m. and I’ve got a hot date with my couch and some DVR recordings — I’m already in my p.j.’s. After seeing mom on Monday, heading to DC on Tuesday, a pro bono event, a spin class, drinks at the Russia House, dinner at Hank’s Oyster Bar, an 8 a.m. train back to

Weekend Wrapup
After going to the FoodCandy meetup and meeting some lovely new folks, I made myself a simple dinner before heading off to Stephanie’s birthday soiree Friday night. Due to the acoustics at the bar, however, it was a little hard to catch up with anyone or, more accurately, nobody could hear me. I have one
