It’s leap day. Today happens only once every four years. And I woke up with a stomach bug. The heck. On the upside, the stomachache has subsided thanks to my Mom’s astonishingly simple-yet-effective Jell-O water cure.

Arbor Place is run by a wonderful couple who also happen to be the parents of one of my previous clients. Last week I […]

Just one more quick note before I take off today. Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith, has won my award for all-time dumbest rock song lyric. The band is responsible for some fun songs (and he himself is responsible for an amazingly hot daughter), but yesterday their song “Crazy” was on the radio. This […]
