Tristan, My Go-To Store is Gone!

Category: life

Ever since The Husband started working at Rockefeller Center I have been shopping regularly at the Tristan store conveniently located in his building.  I went there because it was in his building and it was a good place to pass the time when he was delayed in meeting me for lunch.  But, I discovered that [...]

It’s New Years Eve.  So much has been said about this decade that for lack of a better name is being called the post 9/11 decade. Remember Seattle’s public Millennium Celebrations that got cancelled because of a terrorist plot.  Remember the sight gag on late night TV, Seattle’s New Year’s Celebration as a few guys [...]

I am still struggling with the production process and how it all went down, how Kendall was disappointed with my work and I was so upset that I shook.

I’m thinking about fall and the first day of school.

There’s this thing that is done in Montana.  Floating on a river in a rubber raft.  It’s fun.  It’s done with friends.  It’s relaxing.  It’s making me really sad that we are going back to New York tomorrow.  Missoula “A River Runs Through It” Montana really is a beautiful place!  I will miss it.
