The Quilt

February 10, 2013

On Saturday I hosted a bunch of DC area bloggers for a remembrance dinner in Susan’s honor.  It was part Irish wake, part Jewish Yahrzeit celebration.  There were no sponsors (other than my dad who supplied the wine.)  There was no one to tweet, or hashtag, or instagram.  It was just us, and we talked, [...]

My 2012

December 13, 2012

I am a sucker for every single one of those year in review shows.  I will read all of the best of 2012 lists.  And in honor of that, here is Jodifur, a year in review. January-I thought about what blogging was like before (hey, I’m still doing that), shapewear tried to kill me, and [...]
