Check in

There is a lot going on right now. The first episode of the latest season of Scandal aired tonight. I missed it because I as too busy checking in with my life at Open Expression. Yes, that will be a poem I write. Wow, did I just open with a rhyme?

Yes, well I meet old and new people I really appreciate whenever I'm at Open Expression in Harlem. Had a lovely sister give me really heartfelt encouragement about my work. And we're getting out of town for a bit this weekend for a little retreat from the buzz and crush of city life. I need that kind of refuge at least three times a month. Yes, that would be my ideal life. Three weekends a month in an upstate retreat, writing, meditating, "satelliting."

Jeter just played his last game ever and won it for the Yankees. Now I don't watch baseball at all butI know how incredible his contribution to the game has been. And my husband (ding ding ding!) is super happy and psyched about it so that makes me really happy.

We're all packed and ready. I couldn't get out of the office fast enough today. I'm exhausted and just looking forward to sleeping in a different bed. I get excited about that kind of thing. I like hotels, and not just the fancy ones, even the mid level ones. And B&Bs. Don't get me started. There's one in Hyde Park we're very fond of.

So I'll be reporting from said retreat by tomorrow.

Thank you Jewish Holidays.
