So, I hope I’m not speaking too early… but this may be the first spring I’ve ever been through without allergies. In SF, there was mould and some un-known pollen. In A’ville there was something for about two weeks every season that nearly killed me. In NYC & the Catskills, there was [...]

Some things have changed since last I was there: you can now get cheese? and lettuce? OMG. I got the traditional pickle and nothing else. Waffle fries and, of course, the lemonade. YUM.

I was hanging out with Nate: an impromptu meeting arranged via Twitter, text and cell when I stumbled on some [...]
So, yesterday I had lunch with my boss, John. We went to the City Grill I had the pulled pork with cold slaw and very tasty fries, John had catfish. Not even Secretaries’ Day! Over lunch we agreed that, starting today, I’d be John’s assistant, replacing my friend, Cristie, who departed on [...]
