BoldfaceState Dinner

Some have asked, "How did YOU get invited to the White House State dinner?" The incredulity of the question implies we were like the reality couple that crashed the dinner. They were the first couple we saw when we arrived by taxi. I'm not one of those new security behavioral observers, nor do I play one on TV, but they seemed odd.

I Heart New York

If you are coming to New York City during the holidays and you want to see a show – book some tickets to The 39 Steps.

You Can't Get There From Here

The Weather Girl

"Purpose of your visit?"

"To visit friends."

"And you're only staying one night?"

"It's for a party."

"Are you bringing gifts?"

"No."

As usual I began my trip to Vancouver, feeling like a really bad friend. As we began our descent into the clouds over the beautiful western Canadian city, I was feeling a little feverish, and worried it might be the Swine Flu. But it turns out, it was Olympic Fever.
