Anyone who knows me knows how I love New York for everything she is.
I was here on that fateful day of September 11, 2001. I recall the horror and grief and dismay. I recall the sights and sounds and terrible silences. The ash. The tears. The smell of war, of loss.
And I recall the resolve. [...]
I haven’t felt like internet dating. Not at all. And I haven’t felt like writing about not internet dating. And so I’ve been noticeably absent, restrained and silent. And I’m not sure when or if that will change.
All is well in a lucky girl’s life. Apart from the occasional malaise that may accompany what sometimes [...]
The year was 1999. It started out as a typical Friday night. Except my Friday nights are rarely typical, but this Friday night began with dinner and a friend at Resto Leon. A Kir Royale to start. A bottle of Bordeaux. And conversation.
I think it’s time you get back out there, Staci.
I am out there. [...]
“I lost an earring. Well, I guess I didn’t really lose it. I know where it is. But I can’t get it back.”
“Where is it?”
Pause. For embarrassment.
“The Holiday Inn.”
“What??! Why would your earring be at the Holiday Inn?”
“Because I was at the Holiday Inn.”
“Why were you at the Holiday Inn?”
“Good question. The answer has something [...]
I’ve been struggling with how and when to tell you something,
was how it began.
It ended in a stream of my tears.
It’s been an unbelievably hard month in nearly every way imaginable and in many ways I could not possibly have imagined. There is much to be said when the time and words and strength are [...]
Hi Kids!
Greetings from my stifling, stale-smelling, sardined office space in Los Angeles. I would say that I have no exciting news to report, except that I have exciting news to report!
My friend Ken over at Lustmongers asked me to guest write for him! You all know that I’m a big fan of Ken (and he [...]
Tonight I saw a grown man crying on a corner. He was approached by a stranger, who held him as he wept. I saw a homeless man wearing a newspaper crown. I witnessed a lover’s quarrel, followed by a warm embrace. I saw a boy crossing the street pirouette, pirouette, kick, kick, ball change, pirouette. [...]
I started writing How Very Lucky on a whim. Those of you that have been reading along with me from the beginning have read about it. It was nothing short of a coping mechanism for my re-entry into the dating world. I knew there would be good dates and bad dates and crazy dates and [...]
It was a special weekend. A reunion. An introduction. A celebration. A reconnection. And an affirmation.
The beautiful story is that a lifelong dear friend finally found what she’d been hoping for. She and I had met when we were 9 or 10 and became fast friends. Our childhood years continued on through middle school and high school together. We’d lost touch after [...]
It’s been kind of an unlucky week in a lucky girl’s life. What started as a cold danced with allergies, hooked up and made the perfect trifecta of infections: sinus, ear and bronchial. On the bright side, everything south of my lungs is doing fabulously.
The downside to this is that I’ve had to cancel all [...]
