Sometimes you don’t have the energy to write another paragraph, and the inspiration to blog is far from home. So what do you do instead? Read a book, something fun and light, or carry on drafting the manuscript… not much else to do way past midnight… and television seems so out of context – bad [...]
First Water, Now Soap
What’s it all about, soap operas? Every Russian channel on Time Warner cable here in the US is heavily based on numerous soaps, one after another – inevitably, every free moment you get, you’re drawn into whichever one appeals to you. Well, not so much the male population of viewers – true. But it is [...]
Kinderville
Babies. Childhood. Carefree times…. (Gentlemen, feel free to skip this post!) (Ladies, be prepared to feel that warm tingle!) So… Babies: good ones, OK ones and nightmare ones – all kinds. Some are more fun than others, most are as fascinating as the one next to it, but really – a special baby is a [...]
Crabs from the days gone by…
Couldn’t resist sharing this, but please bear in mind no names or other description of definite identity can be disclosed due to the ridiculous nature of this true story, which took place just a couple of days ago….

Only so many hours a day you can work without feeling like a piece of sun-dried cabbage by the end of it. But that’s the life of a New Yorker, I suppose – it’s all about hard work here. So what happens after spending years on the go? Finito? Even after hours of being busy [...]

Fun, fun, fun….
Have you ever had the best time ever at an adorable 1-year-old’s birthday party in Central Park? Well, I did…this afternoon! An absolute blast – the most creative, fun crowd of people (very artsy, mostly musicians) and kids laughing and giggling non-stop on a beautiful Sunday afternoon… What more could you ask for? No crying, [...]
Reunion Part II – A BLAST!
What a memorable night, that’s for sure! It all began in a very civilized, grown-up manner – dinner for three as part of Reunion Part II at a fancy Indian restaurant in Chelsea called Earth. Samosas, curry and an overpriced mojito to start with…. And a very conservative conversation to go with it. Except that [...]
While you were sleeping….
As I made my way to the departures lounge at airport to say “a bientot” to you, you were already boarding the plane and I couldn’t make it past the gate….. I shouted your name over and over again… But it was too late, the door was slammed by the flight attendant and the plane [...]
