True Story: I was working out at my gym standing in front of a set of floor to ceiling mirrors when a figure strode up next to me. I looked up and it was Nyle DiMarco. Looking into the mirror was like seeing a living before and after photo. Standing next to a fashion model while you’re both in skimpy gym clothes, one…

Yes. Lea Salonga is a treasure!

Sometimes your sig. other isn’t really a workaholic, they’ve just developed a romantic relationship with someone at the office. 

You can not go wrong with Little Gem lettuce.

For No. 2 moments.

When I was in college I dated a D1 football player. He and his teammates felt this way about both female and male reporters in the locker room.

I don’t think it’s Hawaii, I think it’s supposed to be a “Dirty Dancing” upstate resort. I have a friend who did some extra work on the show this season.

You really should! Then tell us all how your experiment goes.

Yum! This sounds absolutely delicious. Will have to give it a try.

I believe it. Murray’s is such a great resource. I spend way too much time in that shop.

Here in NYC Murray’s Cheese makes a BBLT (bacon,buratta,lettuce, marinated tomato) sandwich that is delicious. Toasty bread, creamy buratta, crispy bacon. It’s a good combo. Not always in rotation on the menu but when it is I do a happy dance.

I turn 40 next March, so we are in the same age bracket. Recently I had a meal in a place far more trendy than I would usually go. The server checked in on me during my meal which was a positive, but did so by asking “Do you likey?” which was a negative. If this is what it means to be considered a curmudgeon then I’m…

Pied-à-terre’s are in the city, not in the Hamptons. You have to know these things if you plan to wound the patricians with words.
