After I heard about Beaux, I kept getting emails from the Dalai Lama - apparently their email servers were having problems and I got about 50 in succession. I signed up for email newsletters when I found out he was touring in Australia. I would love to hear him speak because I think […]

My dad called today - at 1:30pm my time. “Hi Pop”, I said. He had an odd tone in his voice. My parents don’t call often outside of work so when they do it’s a treat.
How are you? I say. Oh, we are doing fine, he says - But […]

My sister in law sent this to me, which I filled out right away. And before any of my friends in Australia scoff at this (I know the issue of healthcare is a firestorm), a friend of mine here reminded me that Australia could follow suit. Scary stuff. If you want to […]

Today we went to a Greek Christening. The Wookie’s trading partner christened his son Michael with an Orthodox service followed by lunch at a Greek Tavern restaurant.

For all you US peeps - I had no idea that the yellow caps on Coca-Cola signify that it is kosher. I always learn something when I read Not Martha. Love Not Martha!

One upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Minh who was friends with the Wookie.
When Princess Minh and I met, we became fast friends. She shares my love of kitchen aid appliances, good food and shopping. And we are both twisted in wicked and delightful ways.
Princess Minh came […]
