Hey, hey! The middle-aged lady is one step closer to middle-aged! And that is a cause for celebration. And perhaps botox. 
But those are worries for later. Because, well, you know it&#8217;s a good birthday when &#8230;

Today&#8217;s morning: wake up, make bed, don workout gear, consume coffee, attend spin class with mom, eat, shower. Since then I&#8217;ve been holed up in my room trying to get some things done lest next week is a total nightmare.  Work, work, work.  For an &#8220;Unemployed&#8221; person, I sure [...]]]></description>

The word &#8220;thankful&#8221; tends to stick in my craw a little bit, maybe because I grew up in the South and people used to bandy it about as often as &#8220;God bless,&#8221; &#8220;Bless her heart,&#8221; and &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that sweet!&#8221; in tones that meant, frequently, the very opposite of what [...]]]></description>

Happy Columbus Day! 
True, it&#8217;s one of our more dubious American holidays, placed so closely with Canadian Thanksgiving as to seem a second thought (not that Canadian Thanksgiving is a second thought, at least not to Canadians). Today, many hardworking American folks aren&#8217;t even awarded the day off for Columbus&#8217;s troubles.

I&#8217;m heading to the dentist this morning and I am taking my sweet time about it, because, well, who eagerly wakes up and, bright-eyed and busy-tailed, heads off to the dentist? 
Actually, it&#8217;s better if you avoid thinking about your dental visit completely, or if someone else takes you there and shouts [...]]]></description>

Today I did something I haven&#8217;t done in many, many years.  I ate at your refined establishment.  Well, not really there, but I ate foods from your refined establishment in the car while driving from Norwalk to Manhattan.
The severing of my relationship with you, of course, goes all the way [...]]]></description>

It bears occasional reminding that one man&#8217;s trash is another man&#8217;s treasure. Such is the case for old-fashioned tube televisions with built-in VHS players, for jobs, and even for cities. 
Take YUP, for instance.  He seems to be happy as a clam, or at least as happy as a recent [...]]]></description>

Currently, with brother and sis-in-law-to-be, pondering how completely terrible mornings would be without coffee.  Imagine, friends (and substitute tea if you must, or a sip from your flask of Jack D.,) but &#8230; a morning without your desired caffeinated beverage, pouring down rain and chilly, where you must put a [...]]]></description>

Last night I was planning tomorrow night&#8217;s rooftop drinks fiesta (calm down; we&#8217;ll keep away from the edges) with a friend, and I asked, &#8220;What time should I come over?&#8221;
&#8220;Oh, 7,&#8221; she said.  &#8220;That&#8217;ll give us a couple hours of good solid boozin&#8217; before the sunset.&#8221;

I looked outside.  [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s 2:30 on a rainy Friday, and YUD has accomplished the following:
1) Conducted an interview that she will write up for money.

2) Enjoyed, with a certain horror, part of an episode of Beverly Hills 90210, the older years, in which Kelly saves an abandoned baby and then becomes suddenly, violently homophobic when [...]]]></description>
