The other day, at 6am, I was walking down Fifth Avenue in New York. I was in a hurry, as is my norm. I was zigging and zagging. Although, at that hour one has more room and ability to speedwalk. I was listening to my music and thinking […]
Growing up in New York City I never felt claustrophobic. To many outsiders, the city could seem tight and constrained. The sidewalks packed, the apartments tiny, and the summer air stifling. But to me, New York represented vastness. It was, and still is, a world of possibilities. And […]
This weekend was a lovingly and joyously a bit atmospheric transporting me back to some unforgettable trips I have taken in the past. In being so transported, I dreamt of travel and longed to pack my suitcase and go somewhere. Anywhere. Well, not exactly anywhere. But almost anywhere. […]
I love my son. I love New York. I want my son to love New York as much as I do. It is the place where he was born, after all. When we first moved to California, he really liked being there the first week. Actually, the first […]

This morning I woke up singing that Michelle Branch song “Goodbye to You.” It was a song that I first heard on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Which, by the way, is in my top five ever favorite shows. I know that the name of the show, and the […]
The sound of the ice cream truck has been one that I believe I can truthfully say I have not heard during the past eight years or so. First off, they wouldn’t stop in my New York suburban neighborhood because my town had 8,000 people. In NYC itself, […]
