The Wedding. Wow! What a beautiful ceremony. The children acquitted themselves fairly, I would say. They started down the aisle alone, and about 1/4 of the way down Whit decided he’d rather be sitting in a pew. Grace did her best to keep him on course but I had to step in and walk with [...]
Gracie had a fantastic fourth birthday. We had a quick and easy ride down to New York (though thank God for a call to Kendall to check directions when we were about 100 yards from the GWB … oops). After a little bit of a drama getting into our rooms at the Palace, we had [...]
Tomorrow is Gracie’s fourth birthday. Poppy just came over to say hi and he told her, very somberly, that it was her first perfect square (4). I remember so vividly hearing about that when I was 9, and when I was 16 – was a nice moment of generations moving forward and many things staying [...]
We’re heading into the second week of Matt being in India. But the good news is that he’ll be back for the big fiesta at the end of this week: Gloria and Jim’s wedding! The children’s outfits are all ready (though I’m going to need to chop Whit’s toes off to fit into the shoes [...]
“How are you different from your mother?”“I hope, in as few ways as possible.”This from Studio 60 this week.Have been thinking about mothers and daughters. Cracked open my thesis last night (had to dust it off first). The photograph of Georgia O’Keeffe’s hand across her bare breasts still gives me shivers. Procreativity and creativity. Photo [...]
What a fabulous morning at the Shady Hill Fair with the stool. The highlight was unquestionably watching James, Charlie, and Gracie dance to the middle-school rock band. The three of them had their own mini mosh-pit going. The band was playing songs that to them were probably from olden times, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, G&R, and [...]
Now it’s time to wax philosophic about the TPTs … how lucky I am to have found this group of women in Boston. My mother always used to say that the friends she “had her babies with” were the enduring ones – a special tribe – and that’s the case here. I count 16 babies [...]

Ah…. my Princeton girls. I am missing you all today. Thank God for you! The ladies who will always be the touchstone. Our roads have diverged but it always comes back to this. What I love is that each and every one of the Princeton girls who’ve had a child has had a boy … [...]
A perfect day. I’m either more ambivalent than most moms or just more honest. I’ll admit it’s pretty heavenly being ALONE all day today. Matt is in India and the children are in Vermont and I’m just myself for the first time in I don’t know how long. Nobody needs me. I can do whatever [...]
