OF LICE AND MEN
Last week, with a couple of days off in a row to look forward to, I drove a few hours to visit a friend whom I haven’t seen awhile. When I walked in the house and asked, “Whose dog?”, I got a look that made me know it had been entirely too look since I’ve visited. It had been almost a ... Read More » -

PERFECTLY IMPERFECT
There’s a photograph that was taken on Monday of my sister and me. We’re sitting on the stern of a vintage 1950s Chris Craft boat and it captures a moment of extreme privilege: a warm, sunny day on Lake George, a boat occupied by some of our nearest and dearest, nothing to do but talk, drink, swim and tan.
