Me! Me! Me!
Today, it’s all about me. It’s my 33rd birthday. A birthday is the one day a year that I think everyone should get pampered, spoiled, and given special treatment. Especially me. 🙂 Having a birthday the day after Christmas very often results in having a celebration or a present sort of squished in among Christmas/Chanukah

What I Like About Jew
It’s always a little odd being a Jew in New York during the Christmas season. Despite all the political correctness in our midst, it really is still Christmas season. No doubt about it. Christmas decorations, Christmas trees, Christmas music . . . But yesterday I saw it. A sign from above that, yes, it is

Just Say No
I went to the gym today with a friend of mine for a post-Thanksgiving spin class (thank God!).
