About Me

Well for starters, I'm not even sure why I am here except for the fact that my son said," yeah Mom, you should be on My Space". I also have a crazy nephew living off the charts in Tokyo who is on My Space and he has encouraged his mother and me to log on and have fun! Here I am - Mother of three grown kids, married to my second husband(one of the three is his), and living in New York City. I absolutely LOVE living in New York. Even after 9 years, I am still a "tourist" loving the excitement and the vibe of the City, and going and doing all the time! I love going to the movies, theater, opera and the Philarmonic. There are mornings when it has NOT been a fun ride on the subway to work but as I walk to the office, and look up at the gorgeous buildings in midtown, I remind myself that there are a million people who would love to trade places with me "in a New York minute". I work in the exciting field of Manhattan real estate but don't define myself by my job - I'm just me.

My husband and I like to entertain and are reknowned for our annual Martini party. And then there was the Mardi Gras party and the Oscar party and the Summer in the City dinner party...well you get the picture. I'd like to dance more, be thinner and probably lop off a few years too. There's not enough vacation time to see and go to all the places I want to. Last year we went to Cuba and that was really a fabulous experience. Going on safari and seeing the Aurora Borealis are the next two travel goals. a href="http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com" style="position:absolute !important; top:0px; right:0px; z-index:9; height:130px; width:200px; background-image:url('http://myspace.nuclearcentury.com/imag es/banners/banner8831.gif'); background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:top right; border:0px;"

TGIF is not a cliche

..> ..> TGIF is more than a cliche.  Fridays are wonderful - the day dawns with a sense of anticipation, a light-heartedness so lacking on a Monday or Tuesday. Oh boy, the weekend is coming!...
