It’s started already–the daydreaming about a fire in the fireplace, changing leaves, wearing my new fabulous trench coat (H&M, thank you very much!!) AND dogs that are not constantly panting. I will start cooking again, baking, having folks over for dinner, going for more walks around the neighborhood. It is my favorite season for sure….it [...]

Yah, last Spring Kman and I went to Spain. We were driving north of Granada through the most beautiful countryside imagineable. All olive groves, blue sky, moutains, it was just picture perfect. We stopped at some little shack on the side of the road and I bought an antiquey, old, rusty horse shoe….for over the [...]

Had dinner at a friends in Manhattan last night. It’s been so long since I hung around the upper eschelon that I had forgotten (completely) how quick witted, intellectual, well read, well versed, well heeled, eloquent that set is.

I have two brand new obsessions. One is Victoria and David Beckham. I have been overcome ever since I saw her completely inane and vapid show about coming to America. It got its ass whooped in the ratings by Wife Swap, which tells you everything you need to know about its utter lameness. Evenso, I [...]
