Yesterday, we attended the Diana Crane Scholarship Benefit Concert in Princeton, New Jersey, spoke at the event, and had our foundation make a gift to celebrate the 26 years of service of one of our favorite professors at Westminster, the music school of Rider University. Diana was both Aaron and my academic adviser throughout much…
At least that is my personal opinion. Finally! At this point, I had taken a bite of (and spit out) more cupcakes than you can imagine. Some of these legendary bakeries made products that tasted liked Crisco or raw butter. But we heard about a new little cupcake shop that had opened in Princeton, New…
Tonight, Aaron and I attended a concert designed to benefit a scholarship setup in honor of one of our favorite professors, Diana Crane, now that she has decided to retire. We agreed to speak at the event and had the Kennon & Green Foundation make a donation to the fund. I was grateful that I…
We were supposed to have breakfast with Jimmy this morning but we ran late because I was still really, really under the weather and trying to drag myself out of bed. You may remember him; he works for a major opera company in the United States and was a Fulbright scholar with whom we attended…
We had dinner scheduled for tonight with Ashly, Ian, and Jocelyn. After buying our five toe running shoes, we made our way to Jocelyn’s condo a few towns over. It was rush hour, which delayed us, but we arrived and got to meet her roommate, see where she lived, and catch up before piling in…

We visited an upscale piano retailer this morning and a wonderful salesman allowed us into the back room to play the 9’+ Bosendorfer Imperial, Blunther, and Steingraber grand pianos. Out of all of them, both Aaron and my favorite was the Model 225 Bosendorfer, which is around 7.5 feet. I think I’d want it in the…
After the Top of the Rock tour, I ran down to Bergdorf Goodman and bought four Charvet ties. I’m crazy about them. They are beautiful. One of these days, I can’t wait to make my way to Paris and order bespoke Charvet shirts, which are considered to be the best in the world along with…
After leaving the Brooks Brothers flagship store and returning to the hotel, we headed to the NBC studio tour in Rockefeller Center and saw the sets for Saturday Night Live and other shows. Then, we did the Top of the Rock observation deck, which allowed us to go to the top of Rockefeller Center and…
