weekly r.e.p.o.r.t. c.a.r.d. #64 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Happy Sunday! If you’re based in the Northeast, I hope you hunkered down and stayed safe throughout this wild Nor’easter. I was upstate for the weekend and it was a total non-event up here...just a little rainy. However, a bad weather weekend is always a good excuse to stay in, cook, catch up on work, and watch something good. While we all await the Elizabeth Holmes / Nathan Fielder documentary dropping on October 16, I’ve been devouring the latest seasons of FAUDA and RHONY. Two genres that fee
CAREER CONFESSIONALS: $1.8M per year at a job everyone thinks is boring (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some jobs are very unsexy. And this one might just take the cake. It’s the lie I tell Uber drivers when they hear me on a work call and ask, “So what do you do?!” It’s so boring that it immediately shuts the conversation down and they immediately stop peppering me with questions.

Happy Sunday! And Shana Tova / Happy New Year to all those who celebrate. I’m not Jewish, but my husband is—so it’s been fun to find our own rhythm as a married couple and figure out the traditions we want to make together.<img alt="" class="sizin

Read excerpt
Happy Monday! This past week was a fun one and I did my utmost to soak up the last bits of summer. I took a day off early in the week to go to the North Fork with my mom, where I haven’t spent a ton of time.<img alt="" class="sizing-normal" height="1941" src=
