Belle woke me at 6 am –– after I’d stayed up until 2 am working on the new script –– and so I “went with it” and continued structuring the new play while it was still dark until I felt semi-spent again. There’s a particular quality of sleep that happens when ...

10/01 … (and we can throw in an occasional “2”) 10/01/12 OK –– it’s 12:12 am and time to start writing the new script … like FOR REAL.

“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...

And by that I mean, Belle stopped by Bikram today. I realized –– mid-morning –- that I must have forgotten my soaking wet trunks at the studio after last night’s 4:30 – 6 pm class. And that they were in a little plastic bag. And thus fermenting. And so, Belle and I swung by to...

#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 ...
