  • Tidbits

    Gotta love having friends who know how to make you laugh out loud.  I got an email from Rob yesterday about our dinner with Augie and Lauren at the Fatty Crab: "i ate too much last night.  now i feel like this python." (For those of you too lazy to click the link, the headline

  • Not So Hot

    The pattern continues:  run myself ragged, catch the plague, rinse, and repeat.  I started to feel a little crummy on Thursday night, but went to bed early.  After a successful inagural pro bono breakfast for the new associates bright and early Friday morning, I made it until mid-afternoon, when the nose-blowing became too disgusting for

  • Overheard

    at the 53rd Street subway stop:  "Queens-bound E train now approaching the station."  Pause.  (same voice, singing) "To find I’m king of the hill . . . top of the heap."  Pause.  "It’s up to you, New York, Neeeeeeeeeew, Yooooooooork!" Smiles all around.

  • Real Men Do Yoga

    I don’t ordinarily blog about work — it could have negative repercussions.  But today, I’m making an exception.  A portion of the floor on which I work at the new job is under construction, and I am fortunate enough to have the construction less than 50 yards away from my office.  The gaping hole that

  • Nothin’ Gonna Break My Stride*

    Somehow the rest of the week absolutely flew by.  Work has been super-busy, which is great, but my hours are creeping later and later.  Had dinner with some of the beach house ladies at Mercadito Grove Wednesday night, and yesterday was a whirlwind — an offsite meeting for a chunk of the day, running around

  • Fall Ahead

    I spent my last "official" weekend out in Kismet this past weekend.  I was actually happy that the house was quieter than usual — a perfect pace to wind down and truly enjoy every ray of sun, each grain of sand, and the welcoming waves mellowed by the presence of the full moon.  I couldn’t

  • From New Orleans to Brooklyn

    So it turns out that the high school student who relocated to Brooklyn from New Orleans and who was featured in this New Yorker article is in my brother’s class (he’s a teacher).  The word in the legal services/pro bono community is that there are roughly 500 evacuees in New York so far, and that

  • Dating Yourself

    Friends often tell tell me I date a lot, which I think is weird and not entirely accurate.  I suppose it depends on your definition of the word "date."  I was at a barbecue this weekend (hosted by Stephen to celebrate Joanna’s birthday) and was comparing my dating history this past year with a friend’s.

  • The Good News

    is that I got up early, worked out, folded last night’s laundry and made a very healthy egg white frittata with spinach, mushrooms and onions to take to work for breakfast.  The bad news — I have no time for a decent post.  More to come on the weekend and thoughts on "dating yourself."
