Cleaning out years of papers and came upon the following quote by Antoine de Saint-Exupery “If you want to build a ship don’t ask people to collect wood and don’t assign tasks or work Rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.” Must have saved it as I thought it was …

The Best
Such a wonderful time in the City with T & C who came to binge on Broadway shows. It is so true, everyone comes to New York and I love when we have time to spend together. These long friendships are so jam-packed with history/memories/stories and caring. They ! are the best. While there, saw …
Have You Noticed
When I watch someone as they are walking or getting on the subway, holding an inexpensive cup of coffee, I notice they hold the cup with two fingers on the lid. If it is a pricey cup of java, they hold it around the cup itself, no fingers on the lid.
Airport Clothes
During the winter, flying in and out of airports in the northern states, one sees people on their way to southern climes.

However, to get a new continuation, a new masthead, not lose the 1300+ posts already written and move forward was no simple matter. There is the new …
Love a Compliment
In the wine store, another one [more research], was checking out and the clerk, regardless of looks, ask for one’s birthday or DL. I do not believe this is their business. And at my age. I am clearly not 21. So just as I do with social media. I have a fictitious b-date that I …
Wine
What I don’t know is greater than what I do know, but some of my select knowledge is sound. I actually spend time and money on my education. You can imagine the hardship. Last Fall I discovered a wine from the Languedoc region. It is so good and at such an amazing price point, that …
