I was nine-years-old and somewhere foreign in Alabama. I was with my parents at a family reunion where I knew all of two people.  My parents had dragged me down there from my familiar and happy perch in suburban Wisconsin to an environment that I should have felt more connection to than I did.  I [...]

If you picked up the New York Times this morning and leafed through the Home section, you may have noticed a quick hit on the Stephen Sills preview exhibition at The Apthorp apartments in Lambertville, N.J. Sills filled the space with a mix of classic and modern pieces that will be auctioned off later this month. [...]

I’m going to have to add myself to the throngs of bloggers and writers who are gushing (and, in some cases, spewing) over Madonna’s appearance in the Super Bowl last night.

It was quite an adventure that, oddly, has us all ready to travel again (for a shorter period of time).  Mr. M is leaning toward Pinehurst so that he can [...]

Today is the anniversary of the beginning of my life, which is often quite interesting, to me at least.  I’ve been blessed with wonderful family and friends. I have the chance to have amazing conversations with an extended circle of people who inexplicably seem to like what I have to say. I get to shoot [...]
