My grandmother on my mother’s side is named Ruth. She’s 93 years old. Her grandchildren call her “Nan” and her great-grandchildren call her “G.G.” for “great-grandma.” The family took her out for lunch for Mother’s Day. Nan’s husband, my grandfather Sam, died when I was 16. Sam’s sister was named Martha. Ruth’s brother was named [...]

When celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival gave me a manicure with Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail polish strips in March, the design lasted for two weeks. I was impressed.

There’s a well-written story on Poynter.org called “How The Wall Street Journal’s improvised 9/11 battle plan helped it to a Pulitzer.” It quotes MrB extensively about the Wall Street Journal’s coverage of 9/11.

Today is my gorgeous sister Terri Berry‘s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TERRI BERRY! Yesterday, TerriB’s husband, Tim Berry, presented her with a custom ring I designed. TerriB was in on the plan.

After all the Eminem excitement, my sister Terri Berry and I decided to take it easy at Lollapalooza yesterday. We got a couple of Bud Lights, spread our beach towel on the lawn and sat in the sun to listen to the Cars. I wore a Pucci top I got years ago. According to gorgeous [...]

I’ve grudgingly attended only a few general-admission concerts and then only at very small venues. I missed the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art because I couldn’t bear to wait in line for more than an hour. But yesterday I waited — mostly on my feet and with no food — for [...]
