  • Time for a Post

    I know, I know.  Haven’t posted in ages.  Mea culpa.  I’ve just been knocking myself out at Gothamist, so all of my posting energy is being sapped.  It’s sad. So what can I tell you about the weekend (I’m not even going to try to catch up on last week.  It’s so . . .

    How is it that I can have grey hairs and zits at the same time?  Horrifying.

  • Food Focused

    This morning I read Gotham Gal’s post about how she, a born and bred food person, has had a significant impact over her husband, for whom food was merely a source of nutrition before they met.  She describes it as two worlds colliding, and I understand her completely.  I, too, am a food person (in

  • Thanks, Hugh!

    courtesy of Hugh at Gaping Void Somehow I managed not to see this for a few days, even though he gave me a shout-out.  True, I was recovering from Vegas, but still.  For the record, the bartender is ancient history. And yes, I know I need to spill the details, but Gothamist comes first these

  • The Next Chapter

    First off, this goes out to the Lovely Miss Katie, who complained that I haven’t been writing as much lately (sad, but true). I had dinner with two friends Monday night.

  • From 700 to Zero

    in . . . oh, about a week.  I’m using 43 Folders Inbox Zero series on how to keep your inbox empty.  Given that for the past five years I have used my email inbox at work as a giant repository rather than a useful tool, this is a huge step for me.  Since I

  • Three Little Words

    The good news: someone told me that he loved me today.The bad news: it was some sketchy dude hanging out on 44th Street. In other news, a family friend visited last night and I was reminded of how much I like La Nacional; this time, I got to taste the paella, which was so good
