Never Say Goodbye – Updated 9/11/09

From three years ago… the original comments, which can be found here are very special to me as well.
I hate saying goodbye.
I’m not good at it. I never have been.
I don’t know what is worse, saying goodbye, or not being able to say goodbye. I have experienced both.
Endings are hard.
Some people let them roll of [...]

Summer Fun in Da City

( Food and Friends and HCFG and Music and New York and POV )

New York Philharmonic in Central Park tonight! I’m looking forward to enjoying the music, along with 60,000 of my dearest friends. Not to mention a picnic with wine, cheese and fruit – bliss!
Look for HCFG and I on the Great Lawn, we’ll be the ones having a really good time!
Hope to see you there!

A Lifetime In The Rain

( Ally da Pup and Life and New York and POV and Relationships )

Ally da Pup needed to walk and it was pouring rain outside. We were both less than thrilled at the prospect, but sometimes “you do what you gotta do.” As we came back, I noticed a relative mountain of furniture and trash bags blocking the door. I assumed someone was moving and didn’t really pay [...]

And We’re Back!

( Life and New York and Travel and Ugh )

We just got back in town over the weekend after a fantastic-fun-filled-trip!
I’m slammed with a boatload of stuff after 10 days away, so please cut me a bit of slack. I promise I’ll be visiting your blogs tomorrow and catch up on all your news.
See you soon!

Small Gifts Are Often the Best Ones

( Ally da Pup and HCFG and Holidays and Kizmeet and New York and POV and Romance )

We spoke in hushed quiet tones…
“Babe, look at that.”
“That is so beautiful.”
“It’s absolutely magical, I feel like it was created just for us.”
Several hours earlier…
My building is endowed with an over-efficient boiler. It’s only a few years old and really does its job. Translation? My building is always hot. Africa hot. We all complain about [...]

Doggie Dracula

( Ally da Pup and Friends and HCFG and Holidays and New York )

It’s that time again! Yes folks, Halloween is coming, and I don’t have a thing to wear.
Two years ago I dressed as a trampy tavern wench, and marched in the West Village parade with Deni and her dog, Rosie.
Last year I trick or treated with my neighbors and their dogs. The dogs were in costume, [...]

New York and All That

( HCFG and Kizmeet and Money and New York and POV and Romance )

Hot Cute Fun Guy and I are talking about Wall Street.
Lisa: “It’s getting scary out there.”
HCFG: “Don’t I know it. I see companies imploding every day.”
Lisa: “This crash is happening so fast. Almost like it’s overnight. Where did all the money go?”

Times They Are a Changin’

( Ally da Pup and Life and New York )

Ally da Pup is frolicking. The air is crisp and cool. The leaves are changing colors. I wore a jacket this morning. We scheduled a trip upstate to go apple picking. And all this means just one thing…
Fall in New York!
I love it, I love it, I love it!!!

From the Desk of Lisa B. – The Electric Version

( Life and New York and POV and Sarcasm and Snark )

Dear Con Ed,
I really appreciate that you are fixing the street to offer me better service – that’s very gracious of you! Especially in view of the fact that my electric bill went up 30% this summer. It’s so nice to know I’m getting something for my money. I just can’t begin to tell you [...]

Conversation With Mom – The Greenmarket Version

( Food and Health and Mom and New York and Relationships )

Mom is visiting me in New York and we are trying to plan our day.
Lisa: “What would you like to do today? The weather is glorious, all crisp and cool – great walking around weather. Shall we just go wander or do you want to do something special?”
Mom: “I would like to cook supper for [...]
