I moved to New York City on my thirtieth birthday. OK, so, actually I did this: on the 24th, the movers picked up my stuff from my apartment in South Philly. I then drove me and my cat up to Manhattan, dumped the cat at my friend Jennifer's apartment, and met the movers at Manhattan …
Cuppla Reviews and Stuff
Wow, three weeks into September. Quiet, mostly. Trying to get my ass in gear with the important stuff that I've been neglecting most of the year. But much as I really don't want anyone else telling me what to do, I'm a poor taskmaster for myself. I know I can ignore myself, and do. Anyway, …
Labor Day Weekend and So On
Not promising, but this post might bring me up to date... let's see how far I get. Saturday of Labor Day Weekend was my 10th wedding anniversary. I'd kept the plan very simple. I had to return my rental car from the road trip, so I got cleaned up and a little more prettified than …
August Road Trip: Rhinebeck
Patti was one of Charles's two best friends - they met each other working at restaurants together, and were roommates for years. He catered her first wedding - maybe even her second one - and in retaliation, we'd made her be major-domo and point person for our wedding. Anyway, she and her husband Peter are …
August Road Trip: Roscoe
Sunday, Aug. 25 - I had another not-quite-two-hour drive in front of me. I will say that this drive, and the next one on Monday, was lovely. That part of the country is so beautiful, and particularly when you get to the Catskills, you find that Google Maps is routing you across covered bridges and …
August Road Trip: Rainbow Mountain
So... two weeks after I got home from England, I set out again on another trip. The impetus was that my older niece was bringing her family from Minnesota to visit her parents in the Catskills, so I would go over/up there to see everyone. But heck, if I'm going to have a car and …
Ten years
Ten years ago today, after an eighteen-year engagement, a year of planning, and a pretty awesome party the night before, Charles and I got married. It was a small wedding at an Italian restaurant, with the teensy ceremony sandwiched in between the appetizers and the main course. https://youtu.be/FSIYB9C0QdU I'll do some pondering later about what …
Ketchup
The two weeks after I got back from England were 'normal' - no real events, catching up at home and at work. As with last year, unfortunately, a lot of our Savoynet cast came down with COVID - mostly after the show, although it turned out that that was what had done in one of …
England Trip, Day 16 (Sun. Aug 11): Homeward Bound
I had plenty of time Sunday morning to get up, drink coffee, get my personal act together, go get breakfast and then pack. So this I did. I hadn't tried the hotel breakfast the day before - it was a serve-yourself continental breakfast and I had a bran muffin and a yogurt. It was pretty …

England Trip, Day 15 (Sat. Aug 10): Winning at Touristing
This day was total fun, as I got to plug into Susanna's awesome cruise directing. We were starting with an 11:00 tea at Fortnum & Mason, so I ended up skipping breakfast, just leisurely got my act together in the room. My room was pretty awesome, by the way, and the coffee machine (with little …
