It’s Bay-jing instead of exotic sounding bay-zhing? Why did the friggin’ Olympics have to be in China before I was told! I am so embarrassed that I have been mispronouncing it all this time – well, just this summer but still – I guess everyone else was, too, but still!
Barack thinks McCain doesn’t [...]

A day late but it was worth it! S.O. and I had dinner at Biaggi’s. It was super good. I had the Black Fettuccini with Lobster and Torta Ciccolata for desert.
The ambiance was perfect as was the service. I can’t wait to go back again.

I have been working feverishly on a response to a Motion for Summary Judgment all weekend. Everything went well until I or my co-counsel needed to talk to the client – every time she opened her damned mouth the case just started to stink more. And her voice has the power to make visions of [...]

Today, I want each and every one of you to promise me that you will pay attention to your bodies and listen to the signs it gives when things are not going right. Stop taking 6 Tylenols a day, talking about you are doing okay. That is not normal. Let me repeat: THAT IS NOT [...]
