I’m behind in my publicity for Cheaper Than Therapy – at this point last year I had Confessions in the hands of several reviewers, I’d taken out ads in a few mags and I’d done a full postcard run. So far with Cheaper I’ve done the postcards (2 days ago) – I’m sending them to…

My favorite show of all time – The Amazing Race. Man, I love that show. And my family would have been AMAZING in the episode tonight (puh-leeze, we can drive from Soho to 91st st to the GW bridge and on to PA with our eyes closed – and quite often do…) Maxie will be…

It’s very exciting to be looking at photographers for the wire book – very cool indeed! My editor sent me a link to a photographer who’s stuff is very cool, and he seems to photgraph metal and wire quite beautifully. It reminded me that I have to send a note to Chris Hartlove to thank…

The Hebrew School madness has begun. Amayn. In a fit of goyisher guilt (differnt from Jewish guilt – with a Methodist twist) I signed up the kids for Hebrew School and joined our local shul (temple) at the same time. ( Can I get an “OY!”) THAT’S no small chunk of change. So every Wednesday…

This is my friend’s dog, Cisco, sporting one of the items from the Men Who Knit book. Isn’t he adorable? A muscle shirt for a muscular man. I find myself working up a bunch of the doggie stuff because I need to see if my measurements are correct. So far, so good (and thank heavens…

So, it’s a month until I go to LA and in honor of that I’ve started working out this week. Actually, it started on Sunday with the rowing on Central Park lake (that’s why the lady is a tramp) which felt SO good that I went to the gym and rowed on Monday. Then I…
