Friday: I went to see Furious7 with RJH at a packed theater in Williamsburg. It did not disappoint! I laughed, I cheered and yes – I cried a bit. Now I want to go back and watch the previous six then find my way back to a theater to watch (what is hope is) the…
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas yesterday, if that is something you celebrate. If not, I hope you had a relaxing day off. I had a great time with my family; they always prove entertaining and it’s also always nice when we can spend a full day together without needing to rush off to…
Happy February 29th, all! I hope you do something special to mark the quadrennial occasion. Personally, I will be going to my wax appointment, taking a much needed trip to the grocery store, washing my hair, and curling up to read some more of The Lotus Eaters. Yes, sometimes that’s my version of celebrating. Today…
Gung hay fat choy! Yes, it’s a day late, but I was busy yesterday. I hosted my 6th Annual Lunar New Year Dinner, with my largest turnout yes! Into the double digits, I was reminded that although my place is small, I have the most awesome of friends since they don’t even seem to notice.…

I made it through Lent – no meat. I sustained myself on a crap-ton (literally) of beans, grains, fruits & vegetables, and a bit of rice and pasta. I learned that I am not a fan of meat/protein substitutes. I don’t need tempeh or tofu or fake bacon, I’d rather have a deliciously prepared dish…
I did it!! I won them over with BACON. Not everyone, since my father refuses to try anything new and only eats turkey, dressing, and gravy at our massive holiday feasts. Christmas is a bit easier, since we have cocktails and appetizers downstairs while unwrapping gifts, then we head upstairs for dinner. That means if…
Happy (almost) New Year! In case you’re new here, I follow a formula for each new year. I make: Goals: Measurable goals regarding health, wealth, and career. Resolution(s): Feel good thing(s) that really have no impact on my life other than to bring me happiness A Slogan: the theme for the year I’m ahead of…
