    My love for dogs goes waaaay back. Paprika (or Pappy for short) was a Puli, a Hungarian Sheepdog (she's got her summer haircut in this pic). She was with me from birth until probably age 14 or so. #TBT

  • The Domino Effect

    Friday night plans rescheduled — Thursday night plans moved to Friday — email from law school friend who had extra ticket to see Billy Joel at MSG Thursday night. All the dominoes fell into place!
