The Age Old Problem

Given how eventful this summer has been it seems odd to say that it has passed quickly.  A month ago, dragging myself around the streets of New York in the most extreme heat the city has ever seen, it felt that autumn would take ages to arrive.  But, I blinked and it is now just around the corner.

Having been out of town more weekends than not of late (mercifully, I evaded the drama of Madame Irene by basking on southern California beaches last weekend), I could not be more thrilled to have three whole days to putter around the city.

I figured I'd kick it off with a visit to the new Laduree store on the Upper East Side, the arrival of which I've been hotly anticipating.  The popularity of macarons has left the city vulnerable to a flood of awful imitations, and it is high time to push back with the real thing.


Sadly, I was not the only one with this idea.


Ah, New York.  Each time I think I've got a unique notion, you remind me that I'm actually just following the crowd.

Another attempt shall be made today.  Let the Labor Day puttering begin!

Bengal cats are very chatty. It seems like they have the need to communicate about everything, especially when they are trying to tell you that they need or want

something. If you ignore them, they will most likely become louder. They can meow in a range of different tones, from sharp to low, giving the impression of a wild
