A while ago, a friend gave me a scanned copy of this Nora Ephron NYT Op-Ed piece. As she handed it to me, she said someone said, “This is  you.”  Or she said, “This is me.”  Or she was a he.  You see, I’ve forgotten who gave it to me. I Know You  I […]
Diane’s repeated Matt’s iPhone story to most of our friends, and I’ll never be able to tell it as well, so I won’t strive for her level of detail. The short form : Matt’s in is Comparative LIterature class, first day, and his professor asks all the students to tell him who their favorite author […]
Gateau Aux 3 Chocolats Dark and white chocolate mousse on a chocolate biscuit base, topped with milk chocolate icing and macaroons. Charlie, I was going to save this cake for Thanksgiving but it took so long to set up the shot that the cake thawed and I had to eat it all myself. Sorry.

These people no longer have to guess why their water bill is so high, and if you want to donate some rice and improve your vocabulary, try this site. Both sent to me by Matt who tells me he just woke up from a twenty-four hour nap. For whatever it’s worth, my average score is […]

 Here you will find a selection from my camera (some by Bill).
BirdBrain sent me this and said she thought of Matt. I thought of Matt, too, but when I saw photo # 11 I thought of Adam.
