Chinese in Space
Giselle’s parents have come in from San Francisco for a visit and brought the weather with them. It’s been raining non-stop for the last week (well not quite non-stop but it feels that way.) I’m coming off of a very busy week last week when I was in the middle of helping on a pitch.…

Screw Expedia
Long time no hear. If you didn’t know, Giselle and I moved to our new apartment last month. Screw the bubble, we bought a loft co-op in the old ExLax factory in Brooklyn. So between the packing for the move, the move itself and the weeks unpacking, and my mom coming over to visit for…

Time for Popsicles
It’s been a typical warm and muggy summer. Which got me thinking about frozen treats. Some of you may remember these cartoons that would come on Saturday mornings in the late 70’s and 80’s. There was another one where Time For Timer showed kids how to make ‘Wagon Wheels’ out of Ritz Crackers and cheese.…
