Albert and I love hanging out, but we were each single for so long before dating each other that we have developed very distinct individual lives. That means when he’s away, my life doesn’t slow down at all. While he’s at a bachelor party this weekend, I’ve got a full calendar with a dinner, football,…

On a Monday morning Albert texted to tell me he realized our train tickets had not been clipped the previous Saturday, which means we had basically just won a free trip back to Arthur Avenue.

I’m off tomorrow to wedding number nine – the last one of the year. The rest of the weekend is wide open and I’m looking forward to doing some sort of activity that feels particularly “fall” to take advantage of the season. On my way to meet friends for dinner in the UWS last week,…

Despite a beautiful Indian Summer weekend of temperatures in the low 80s, we’re really beginning to see a shift in the weather. I don’t mind the occasion to pull the cardis out of my closet, but my body is not reacting so well to the change. I’m in the process of staving of a cold…
