Consumerism
I had never been to a Costco before. Well, I had been to a BJ’s Warehouse, but it was well over a decade ago, so when I had the chance to do the weekly shopping for the beach house with John, I jumped at the opportunity (plus I was in charge of Saturday night dinner,

One Down . . .
and hopefully many more to go. I made it through my first day at the new job. I was on time (even got up for a run before work), got taken out for a delicious Indian lunch at Dawat (I have escaped the culinary hell of the Penn Station area), received a welcome gift of

Back in the Saddle Again
Hey there, strangers! I’m back from a week on Fire Island filled, as always, with friends, fun, food, and frolicking on the beach. A trip to Costco was also involved (my first-ever) — more on that to come. It was rough to peel myself away from the beach, so I softened the blow a little

Things You Shouldn’t Say on a Date
I’m not drunk enough. My butt itches. I’ve got to go — my Mom just called and it’s my night to empty the dishwasher. What was your name again? Compiled by me, the Lovely Miss Katie, and her brother Mark, over dinner at BLT Fish. Thank god I’ve never actually heard any of these on

Ahhh
Today is the first day of two weeks off before I start the new job. After a great weekend, which included a celebratory glass of prosecco at Otto with the Lovely Miss Katie, a Mets game with Tien and Neil from Gothamist, dinner with Philip and Dennis, my friend Stephen’s initiation to Dodgeball, a bike

Winding Down and Wrapping Up
While I’m busy coughing up a storm and enjoying my raspy voice (well, not so much anymore), I’ve been winding down at Pro Bono Net, where I’ve worked for the past five and a half years. My last day is today. Given my new job (which is, by the way, Manager of Pro Bono Administration

Deep Throat
Sorry — a cheap ploy to grab your attention, given the recent announcement. I couldn’t resist. But this post is, in fact, about my throat, or more accurately my voice, which is pretty much trashed now for the third day in a row due to a cough and a very loud and a little-too-high-for-me rendition
