Please don’t belch on me!
I hadn’t taken the metro since the accident on the red line. This happened while I was in Chicago on business. It was actually the opposite end of the line from where I take it, just as an fyi. Anyway, every day I heard about long delays so I counted myself lucky that I …

Two major events complete!
We are back from Chicago! Whitney’s memorial service was a fitting tribute, especially in that we got to hang with her Mom, Vicki and stepdad, Mort. Their generous spirits are a testament to why Whitney was/is the beautiful soul she was/is. I guess I’m a grown up because I’ve now given my first eulogy. Whitney’s …

Seriously? Since May 3??? Goodbye, Whitney Column
Where does the time go? I can’t believe I haven’t posted in so long. I want to share my column from May about Whitney. Of course as soon as it was published we changed the location of the memorial event from the beach to Kristin and Andy’s house. However, I agree with Lani, we can’t …

Not yet Walking the Walk
The good news is that I’ve been too busy writing articles to blog. I went to my first post-baby writers group and, as always, was inspired by the depth and talent of the women writers around me. They welcomed Avital to her first writer’s group with a cake that said, “Welcome Avital,” in her favorite …

Tv works for me
I hate to see that I feel a little bit better knowing that I may not have seen or heard anything even if I had made it downtown today. See my friend David Donadio’s blog. http://americasfuture.org/conventionalfolly/2009/01/20/no-you-cant/ Michael, my colleague and Lani’s boyfriend, is the lifelong Democrat friend. All day I just couldn’t get over how …

Inauguration of a Dem!
Inauguration festivities have begun. This is the first time I barely feel like I live in Washington. If we were still downtown, I would have walked just blocks from my apartment to the Lincoln Memorial for today’s concert. Instead I can watch it on HBO like everyone else. I’m working from home on Tuesday but …
