Kathi, my daughter Laura, and I are staying here in New York City with the Jewish Don of New York Restaurateurs, Kathi’s cousin Alice Cutler. Going out to eat with Alice is serious business.

I am currently disgusted with my dramatic lapse in blogging after the sincere promise I made to myself.  I laid my right hand on every holy book vowing to blog daily, in sickness and in health, during duress or elation-- nothing would get in the way of my dedication-nothing.  But alas, I have...

9:20am... I'm trading in my car ahead of schedule because it is...an absolute disaster. I could go on, but I don't really want to. It's sad, because that's my car, you know? Haha, I am taking this so personally, and it's a car. An inanimate object. But suffice it to say that the check engine light...

Just returned from a great trip to Carmel with my family for my sister's birthday.  We also went to a wedding.  My sister Cheryl, her husband and three children lived across the street from the Montague family for many years.  I spent many Christmases and other vacations with the Montagues; they...
