I walked Loca for a long time this morning and then rushed home to get an hour and a half bike ride in before mom got here this morning for our Saturday brunch. It was glorious – perfect temperature – no jacket required – and I rode out to the point and back but hit a headwind that made me feel like the witch cycling in the Wizard of Oz. We went to Caffeo on Dumaine…
Last night, I made dinner for friends and the conversation was all about Obama – I said I had veered his way when I realized he was the candidate who had voted against the war and the chorus was we need to elect Hillary – I said I’m still a little on the fence but my bias is towards Obama. When I drove cross country from California to New Orleans, I listened to Bill Clinton’s…
TGIFF is all I have to say – there is nothing like starting the New Year on a Wednesday and having all you have to do compressed into three days instead of five.

There is a party on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights this weekend. Alas, I committed to a party next Friday and that is all I will put on my calendar. I’m having a couple of friends over for a…
My sister called to say “why don’t you come visit me when you know that I am sick” – I didn’t respond.My mother called to say that she is driving to Atlanta to get back the Volvo I gave her that she let my sister drive off with six months ago. She refuses to take responsibility for her part in the matter.If you don’t engage – they can’t get you. But the first phone call…
On Rosh Hashana every year, Jews celebrate the new year according to the Jewish calendar – this year for New Year’s I welcomed the new year much in the same way that I do on Rosh Hashana by asking forgiveness from those I have wronged and for forgiving those who have wronged me.
