And, We’re Off!
For the first of a series of trips over the coming month. This time, to a wedding in Gautier, MS with an overnight in New Orleans. Just doing my share to help boost the economy, not to mention celebrate along with my friend Ana, whose wedding was postponed due to Katrina.

You Know Your Hotel is Swanky When
The hotel room is not only bigger than your apartment, but on top of the swanky robe, slippers, chocolates on the pillow, the featherbed, wifi, and the orchid in the bathroom, but there’s a bidet. Just in case.

Apparently It’s Time . . .
for me to move to Brooklyn. Why? Because in one evening between the hours of 7 and 10:30, I not only got to see the folks I came out there to see — Jonathan, Jen and a sleeping Oscar and Doug and Leora, but I ran into not one but two people I know. First

Yes, We’re 12.
Any weekend that leaves your abs in pain from laughing hysterically is a good one, at least in my book. Thanks to all for another year of ridiculousness, summed up in a phrase that made me laugh more than anything in a while: while searching for the word "flaccid," John mistakenly uttered the phrase "flatulent

Nothing Says “I Love the USA” Like a Pig Roast

John purchased a Caja China, I’ve packed my recipes from my pig-roasting class (hoping that I can translate from a

Austin Report
Made it back safely from Austin and the conference — three days full of schmoozing and eating, although I didn’t get to see much of the city, unfortunately. Strangely enough, I also didn’t really take any pictures, even of the food. Not really sure why. I arrived late on Wednesday night and had delicious pork

The Stars at Night Are Big and Bright
Deep in the heart of Texas! I’m off to Austin for the Equal Justice Conference (a pro bono/legal services shindig), so posting may be light for the rest of the week. Looking forward to some good Tex-Mex (I’ve already gotten some recommendations from the Texas Chowhounds and a Texas-raised co-worker) and some good margaritas for

Monday, Monday*
Recovering from a weekend in DC — I went down for the annual Pro Bono Institute conference. I had a great time schmoozing and boozing with my fellow pro bono cronies. Thanks to Carrie, Ian, and Genevieve (the peanut on the left) for hosting cocktails in their room, and thanks to Rochelle for going to
