The Commuter Class
With Le Doug off fishing, I am Mistress of the House in Greenwich for two weeks. This involves hanging out with The Boys (Maestro and Mozart), keeping the kitchen clean and staying far away from Doug's car. I have been given strict instructions not to use it unless one of The Boys are bleeding from the eyes, etc. I have not, however, been told to stay out of the liquor or Doug's collection of Bordeaux. Muhahahaha!
(I kid, I kid...)
That said, if you are a friend and you live in the Fairfield County area. Call me, etc. as I will need to amuse myself. And I can't drive the car. I'll be taking the Metro North into the city every morning for work, but it will be nie to have evening plans. I know, I know...me as commuter is kind of funny, especially since I don't wear suits or read the Wall Street Journal. And what of my poor little apartment in Gramercy? It's so neglected, so empty. What am I paying $1,300 a month for?
Here are some links, since I haven't done links in a while:
I found this interview with my friend Jen Armstrong on Mediabistro. She and Heather run Sirens Mag.
The New York Times wrote a great piece about war widows who have a hard time collecting benefits after their husbands die in combat.
