Forget about the fact that a good portion of our society cannot afford healthcare – let’s focus on the fact that healthcare is in a state of crisis. Yesterday, Moosey accused me of being a perfectionist – well perhaps I do have high expectations when it comes to certain things – specifically, healthcare. Mom went in for her MRI and the woman left her in the machine for 3 hours! What? Did she go get…
La Vita is open finally in the neighborhood. I saw Moosey and Fatima and Suleman this morning all having coffee at CC’s and they said it had been a madhouse on Friday – they opened at 5:30 and left at 1 in the morning – Fatima was hoarse from yelling in the kitchen and Moosey had donned his apron to help out along with Fatima’s sister who flew in to be hostess. Starting Monday they…
I started moving the dishes over to the LaLa and naturally I got there and found out that Pieri didn’t come on Friday, which means the plumber can’t come on Monday, in turn the floors can’t be refinished, then Christian didn’t fix the tile in the bathroom so I can’t clean it, and to top it all off, Giovanni didn’t show up today.

Well, during the downward spiral that mom went through – the reaction to new high blood pressure medicine that almost caused a stroke, then the flu, followed by the depression, leading to the reaction to Zoloft the doctor prescribed for her, ending in the grand fall down the stair – it turns out she cracked her tailbone and is now on bedrest. I forced her to get out of the bed today because she looked…
Why I love baseball is the player is an individual as well as a team player. The same holds true with Pilates. Everyone shows up for the class, but every one works in different ways. What is challenging about Pilates is that you have to best yourself and not your neighbor – there is no one to run faster than, swim harder than, bike longer than – there is also no sense in being there…
D arrived to no rooms in SF and was able to procure a suite – which of course turned into our gathering place – he was appalled at my cat injuries and told me after a few Red Bulls and Vodka – “Rachel, cats don’t like us.”
The financial industry has always had its ups and downs, but the downs really weigh on everyone who was used to the ups. Even one of my most positive and optimistic colleagues was having a bad week. He quoted another in our company who said, every two years you need new best friends. But that’s true – I told him it is true for sources as well as clients – and hell it might be…
I read that humans treat red with respect. Red is without exception the first color word to enter the vocabulary and in some languages the only color word apart from black and white. It’s the first color kids learn to name. The first color that comes to the mind of an adult. It’s all good. It’s all red.
