It’s been hotter than a sidewalk hot dog cart in mid-July New York. The kind of heat that turns your eyebrows into tiny sweat dams and makes you question your life choices. Like why you didn’t just move to Iceland during the pandemic like you half-joked. So there […]
Today, I treated myself to a city sampler platter of joy. A little culture. A little culinary delight. A little walking-off-the-week energy. And here’s the kicker. It was all done with barely any crowd-dodging or line-weaving. Score. First stop: an off-Broadway play.You know the kind. Small theater. Big […]
What strategies do you use to increase comfort in your daily life? You haven’t truly lived in New York City until a local train you’re riding suddenly goes rogue and decides, mid-ride, to become express. No announcement. No warning. Just BAM! like Emeril seasoning your morning commute with […]
Here’s my Tuesday truth: my brain is soup. Not a bisque. Not even a nice gazpacho. Actually, I don’t like gazpacho. But that’s besides the point. Back to the point at hand. My brain on soup. Just lukewarm, slightly over-salted cognitive broth simmering under this June sun. It’s […]

Ah, Christmas Eve—normally a time of cozy warmth, festive cheer, and the smell of pine needles. But here I am, traveling the day before Christmas. Why, you ask? Because that’s what my airline points allowed for! Genius? Maybe not. It all started with American Airlines facing a ground […]
List your top 5 grocery store items. Every week, like clockwork, I sit down to order groceries. Because honestly, the thought of actually going to the store after a long week of work, school runs, and commuting is…well, let’s just say it’s a hard pass. So, I click […]
Today marks the shortest day of the year, and as if Mother Nature herself was in on the cosmic joke, it snowed last night. Not just a light dusting either, but enough to blanket the world in that hushed, pristine silence that almost forces you to stop and […]
Do you ever see wild animals? I love animals—don’t get me wrong. But when they’re on my turf, eyeing my three dogs like they’re sizing up their next meal, it’s a different story. Lately, my backyard has become a wildlife arena, and my poor pups—especially my ten-pound dachshund—are […]
