“I was only 70 –– what was a I supposed to do … retire?” Diana Vreeland quips in THE EYE HAS TO TRAVEL about being fired from Vogue and then having her triumphs at the Costume Institute at the Met. I have often written about how I am a HUGE fan of Diana Vreeland’s style and accompli...

Morning yoga client. Then watched Jonah for 45 minutes –– we played WE SKI on Wii which was awesome. And then Valerie 2 and I went off to see a matinee of THE NORMAL HEART, the George C. Wolfe production that’s touring. I’ve always known about the play but never seen or read it before.  So much...

Granted –– it’s less of a statement than a tattoo, but I have been contemplating whether or not I should get a vanity plate when I complete all the car registration stuff for my new wheels. It seems –– like many good and bad things in life –– both self-indulgent and sorta fun. My day [which began at ...

“Judge a moth by the beauty of its candle.” –– Rumi I’ve only been to a view of THE MOTH events in real life, even though its most recent location was right near my old NYC loft (and I have a vague memory of it being briefly just across the street from me for a stint.) Anyway –– only if y...

Yesterday, I was reminiscing about an “episode” –– meaning like 4 years –– from my distant past to wake up with a Linked-in invitation from said episode.  Fascinating … Especially on the Day of Atonement, or as a Course In Miracles suggests, “At-One-Meant.” I’ve revealed...

#1 If one man tells you you’re a horse, he’s insane. If three men tell you you’re a horse, there’s a conspiracy. And if ten men tell you you’re horse, you need to get a saddle. and #2 Wine relaxes me. Vodka gives me clarity and courage. But Scotch makes me wise. [Therefore, obviously,  I’m trying to ...

This morning at 7:45 am-ish the Comcast guy came to lay the DSL cable for the cottage. The decline is semi-inexplicable, but basically, I’d been living fine on 4 bars most of the time, but lately it’s been now down to 2 bars on the wireless from SK(W)’s set-up. 2 Bars means that downloadi...

My wireless is super-slow these days –– the Comcast people are coming tomorrow at 7:30 am (I’m not kidding) –– to add a DSL line into the cottage, so it’s doubly hard to look up who originated the quote “controlled chaos” about filmmaking. All I know is that those three words have 2...
