Weekend Recap (Father’s Day Edition)

Two weeks after getting laid off I finally had a chance to get out of town and relax for a bit, such opportunity happening to coincide with both Father’s Day and the celebration of my cousin’s wife’s birthday, so on Friday bailed on NYC to DC for the weekend.  Given that severance will, in fact, [...]

Memorial Day Weekend Recap (SoCal Edition)

I finally had to head back to NYC from sunny SoCal on Monday afternoon, but suffice it to say I had an absolutely wonderful time in L.A. and San Diego. As chance would have it, one of my best friends from college, who now lives in DC, was in San Diego beginning on Saturday; another [...]

It would appear it’s been quite some time…

… since I wrote much here. So it’s been a fairly busy six weeks, though I’ve been in a bit of a rut given my current employment situation (e.g., still employed but feeling rather stuck, given the economy as of late). I guess working beats looking for work right now, as any one of my [...]

An excerpt from this morning’s email thread about what happened to everyone last night… A slice of my contribution:

Rose Bar always kicks my ass.

I would love to write a long post about my trip to DC for the inauguration at present, but I am currently in serious recovery mode after another night at Rose Bar. Seriously… Can you leave that place without a hangover?

It’s that time of year, apparently, and the holiday party season is in full effect. Hrm.

So I made it down to DC for Thanksgiving to see both family and friends (family for food, friends for debauchery), and upon my return was mildly thrown off my game when I realized that it’s already December.  I suppose that, since the advent of the Gregorian calendar over 400 years ago, one could have [...]

I was already plotting to head to DC for the inauguration, and then this piece of lovely news came in today… I’m so there.

Happy Halloween, All!

So while I’ve yet to sort out a costume — I’m contemplating going as Little Bo Peep or Little Red Riding Hood, though have to consider the very real possibility that it would kill any chance I’d otherwise have with the ladies — I’m definitely going out tonight.  I’ll be at some combination of two [...]

Opening night at the Aspen Social Club

My new favorite bar had its big kickoff party last night and it was a total blast, though four hours of open bar and the Misshapes, followed by a quick jaunt to Marquee before heading back to ground zero for more drinks, was perhaps not the smartest of moves given that I had two meetings [...]

In these dark economic times, doesn’t it make sense to BYOB?

Perhaps it’s just coincidence, but over the past few days I’ve been alerted to the presence on the market of several devices that could come in quite handy for the alcoholist, on the verge of losing his or her job, looking to save a bit of scratch as the roiling credit markets and continuing fizzle [...]
