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…
DetailsTonight, 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…
DetailsWe 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…
DetailsWe 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…

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…
DetailsAfter 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…
DetailsAfter 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…
DetailsWe made it to the flagship Brooks Brothers store on Madison Avenue in New York City this afternoon. I forgot to take pictures throughout the excursion so there are no grand images of the expansive first floor where legend has it that J.P. Morgan and other tycoons purchased their clothes. Sorry. My brother sent me…
