Day two: Aches, no fever, not much sleep.
Day two, trying to change the way I eat via Paleo Diet. Seriously wasn't that hungry yesterday at all, but I noticed: 1) When I had a cup of soda I got a headache. 2) Toward the end of the day, just before bed, I got all achy and grippe-y like I was having a…
Read MoreJust like starting over
Well, it's the start of the year, which means one of several things are going on: 1) I'm trying to blog regularly again or 2) I'm trying a new form of diet. Surprise! It's both. We'll see how long each lasts; I have lots of intention and not always good follow-through. But in the effort…

Not classy: Canceling 24 hours before the event without an excuse, if you're a key attendee. …by any other name We had one of the latter.

Susan and Randee After many headaches and some tears, "The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion" got its own party last night, at Rouge Tomate in NYC.
