New York Reviews
Swing 46: After Bette Midler's one-woman show, we wandered over to Restaurant Row on 46th and randomly chose Swing 46. They have an old-time "big band" in the rear, which was packed with patrons around a dance floor. We chose
New York Reviews
We're in New York all week working on some workshops and our annual Mentor Hall of Fame meeting. Some reviews thus far (and it's hitting 80 degrees, by the way!): • Caravaggio: I took a group of 12 people there last
Some Customers Just Need To Be Told They’re Unwelcome
I'm designing my fifth Bentley soon, to be delivered later this year. But affording these wonderful cars and having taste are two different things. Dave Brock sent me this shocker from outside a California airport. Looks like an explosion at

Last night we had house seats courtesy of buddy Kim Wilkerson to "Gore Vidal's The Best Man." What a wonderful recovery from the drudging "Once" the night prior. Although the work is 50 years old, watching this play about a nominating
Once Is Not Nearly Enough
We saw "Once" last night on Broadway, the musical that won 8 Tonys. It's a bore. The dozen people on stage are hugely talented, all of whom played primarily stringed instruments and sang well. There's a clever opening, where the audience
Nantucket 2012—7 (Whatever Lola Wants, Lola Gets)
It's 6:48 am and we had a huge storm overnight, fears of hurricanes, tornadoes, water funnels, and the Kardashians. It was simply a heavy rain, the surf is pounding this morning and I can see the horizon. I'm just about
