Egads–Pearls Have Been Attacked!

Moot Court started last weekend. Never heard of it? It's a big deal in law school.

Serendipity Strikes

This weekend found me trafficking bags at a holiday boutique. Financial success--not so much. Spiritual success--you be the judge.

Unless you reside under a rock or in a prairie state, you know it's fashion week. Most of the year I give up on New Yorkers' insufferable belief that they are the center of the universe. Their conviction of superiority looking down on the world from 150 square feet of rat infested squalor up three… Continue reading Fantasy Fashion and Football
