It seems a recap or two has escaped me in the early days of August, mostly because I’ve been out of town and busy with, well, real life. But when the goldenrod starts blooming by the roadside, and the nights begin to cool down into the 60’s, it’s a reminder of the passage of time. Fall will be upon us next month, and in anticipation of that I’ll work a little harder to get back into the swing of things. Onto the past few weeks, and what you’ve missed if you were out enjoying the summer days.
Our summer vacation was in Maine – it started with some magnificent food in Portland, a moving marriage ceremony,  and even more food. Andy and I both fell under the spell of Portland, and vowed to return.  From there we went to Ogunquit, where we were greeted with flowers exploding around every corner. Of course, there was some amazing food there too, and we got a beautiful day at the beach before the moon turned everything upside down, and I walked the Marginal Way at midnight.  A parting glance at Stonewall Kitchen left us with the memory of beauty.
For the most part, I’m a law-abiding citizen, which is why I was shocked when I got thrown out of Starbucks.
It’s important to smell good, even – and especially – in bed.
Be careful what you wish for.
Not all cocktails are winners, because not all bourbons are created the same.
The poached egg. It works wonders.
There were Hunks galore, with the shirtless likes of Tom Daley, Ben Hunt, Nick Jonas, James Deen, Matthieu Charneau, a Tom Ford model, and a bunch of classic Speedo shots.
Wow, I must have graduated from high school when I was five.
Boston maintained its magic and mystery.
There is no better balm for the soul than good friends, old and new. I didn’t want it to end.
This birthday wish list already needs to be modified, as I couldn’t resist purchasing Tom Ford’s Rive d’Ambre during a tax-free Massachusetts weekend, and the two Hermes scents didn’t quite pass muster.
You’ve got style, that’s what all the girls say.
And thanks to you, yes you, this site just hit a milestone.
