You know how everyone daydreams of winning the lottery? I was on my way to the office this morning before I leave to go back to New Orleans and I read on the front page of the NYT that hedge fund managers have made in the billions – seriously one made $3 billion last year, another $2.7 billion, and yet another $3 billion, BUT the article went on to say, sometimes they can lose the…
New York vs New Orleans – where are all the people? Can’t we move some there from here? They have enough here. We don’t have enough there.
One day more than two weeks before T returns and yesterday I thought I couldn’t take another day. The good news is that we are readjusting this summer’s schedule – no four week periods – they are just too long – so they will be cut down to two week separations. It’s hard on her to travel this much – but it is harder not to. I’m going to quit pouting and rejoice that I…
A report just out from Europe that says the brain decides ten seconds before the conscious mind recognizes the decision – um, hello, Tatjana – saw you, wanted you, life unfolds all within seconds of even hearing your voice. You question scientific evidence?
What makes this job ever so unpredictable is that everything is the same, only its different this time. Sort of like life.
My friend Ivette from Puerto Rico – a woman of the millennium – took a photograph of Tatjana and me at Mardi Gras. I blew up the photograph to 4 x 6 foot and it is hanging in my office. A Mardi Gras poster for sure. Yesterday, my friend Kim Frohsin, a super talented artist said that this photo is part of her screen saver. I love that! I was thinking of sending it to…
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and relationships need building blocks to last the life time we all want when we go into them. So distance, which does make the heart grow fonder, only because you are thinking nonstop of when you will see the love of your life again, makes you think of her in ways you don’t when she is near. You APPRECIATE all the ways she fits into you – like the…
I’m staying at The Muse – my favorite boutique hotel in New York on 46th Street. At first I was a little put off by Kimpton’s purchase because they gussied up the rooms and kind of erased some of the bohemianism that existed here but other things were improved like no smoking in the dark, small bar and this in particular. Last night when I called down for my wake up call, the woman said,…
I am so tired but this just popped into my head – instead of screaming Tatjana, I could have screamed her nickname Tonya, which does approach Stella and I think I could have made it work. But we can’t turn back the hands of time and have me drive up in my truck, still charmed by the mysteries of this woman, and hear the song, I want you, carried through the large window layered on…
M called to say that the painters would back on Wednesday. I said candidly, “Is it because you like me that you start a job on Thursday and disappear and then don’t return for almost a week. Is it because you like me you treat me this way?” He said, “It’s because I like you that I started the job when I did, I can’t help it if my painters have to go home to…
