Blogging from the Acela … headed down to NY to spend two days with my Lever House buddies. To be alive at all involves some risk. – Harold MacMillan There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap. – Cynthia [...]
A splash in the pool, a plastic cup of white wine on ice, Grace entertaining herself with Clemmie and Bronwyn, and easy conversation with old friends from the first days of mom-hood (Jen and Heidi). Altogether, a lovely afternoon. Driving home Grace fell asleep in the car. I found myself musing on the idea of [...]
That’s just the kind of mother I am! (this photo mission for my mother’s slideshow has unearthed some great old shots. stay tuned for more!)
Hils and I are gathering photographs for a slideshow at Mum’s party, and it is so much fun to unearth treasures like this one above. I feel quite blessed to have phenomenal women like these two on either side of me, generationally!

Grace and Whit had a blast, and everybody fell asleep upon [...]
Don’t you worry about me, any of you … am going to shake this day off with a little dress (black), a good-time best friend (Emay, see above), and several stiff cocktails (TBD). More later!
Man I am having a lousy day. It’s one of those days where the ghosts of the past and questions about the future crowd around me, and I feel confused and claustrophobic. I wish I hadn’t run this morning, because that’s probably what I need right now. That or a good nap, but the chances [...]
I must have been channeling Princeton when I made my most recent running playlist. I was subsumed with memories this morning. Another beautiful day. The Tide is High – watching Bouff at arch sings, a group of us giggly and drunken en route to the Street, and then performances of the same song at weddings [...]
