What a crazy week last week was! I am happy to say I survived my first (and hopefully last) New York disaster. I was not around for 9/11 or the infamous summer blackout, but I have now had the full disaster experience with Hurricane Sandy. I’ll touch on the Hurricane in today’s “3 on Thursday,”…

I thrive in a busy environment, but after a month of living inside the belly of a whale of busy, I am ready for things to slow down a bit. Things have become blissfully normal.

My parents came up for a few days to help me get my new apartment all set up. It’s like a totally new place. There is still plenty to do, which means this weekend will be primarily business, not pleasure. It’s a little stressful, but it’s worth it now that it’s all coming together. For…

I loved having a 4-day weekend. I spent the first two days running from event to event and the next two days barely leaving my bed. It’s all about balance. I have wanted to see Clybourne Park since I read an article about it in New York Magazine back in April. I loved the idea…

Today is my last day in the office until Tuesday thanks to the glorious long Labor Day weekend. Many of you think of Labor Day weekend as the last official days of Summer. I think of it as the first official days of football season. Different strokes. I love when Sarah comes into town because…
