West Side Story: A Disappointment in 2 Acts

2009-03-02T23:11:00-05:00

I am a die hard fan of classic Broadway musicals. Last year I saw South Pacific at Lincoln Center, and from the first note played by the orchestra I was transported. The staging, the casting, the costumes...all in flawless tribute...

Uncle Eddie: One of a Kind

2008-11-20T23:00:00-05:00

A little more than a year ago I wrote here about my Aunt Stella. Today we laid my Uncle Eddie to rest beside her. This is where the intellectual and the emotional collide. He hasn't been well or happy, but...

Go-Bama!

The reign of incompetence ends on January 20, 2009!

Why I'm Voting Obama

2008-10-10T15:26:00-04:00

I wish I had said this. I didn't. But I am going to keep it under my pillow for the next 3-1/2 weeks and carry it with me everywhere. Heaven help the person who tries to engage me in a...

Euphoria & Tragedy in the Bluegrass State

2008-05-03T23:25:00-04:00

I watched the pre-Derby show on NBC today. Stories were told of triumphs of the human spirit and of the love of horses. As the race started I was cheering on Big Brown. Mostly because he was the oddest combination...

Art Defining Life

2008-04-27T00:13:00-04:00

I've always been a "people pleaser". Often at my own expense. But over the past few years I've worked on being accountable to me. The problem is...when others expect us to behave in a certain way, and when we fail...

Gadgets and Gizmos and Widgets...Oh my!

2008-03-30T11:30:00-04:00

I live in a reasonably sized one bedroom apartment. By New York City standards it's pretty spacious. But...my bedroom is literally 10 steps from my living room. My dining table is virtually part of the living room. And I can...

Happiness is...

2008-03-30T09:00:00-04:00

...having a job that interests and excites you every day. I am having one of the best experiences of my professional life working with Andy, Scott, Jeremy and the whole team at Lotame. Scary smart. Completely focused. We're changing the...

A "New" New York City

2007-11-05T23:30:00-05:00

I've lived in New York for a long time. I've worked uptown, midtown and downtown and I explore the city endlessly. The thing is, I've never embraced the subway. I've taken the train several times. Literally, several times since I...

A Significant Date

2007-10-16T07:30:00-04:00

Four years. Four years since I met some of the most remarkable people I've ever known. Four years since I had to make big decisions fast. Four years since I found out what family and friendship really means. 365 days...
