I received the following message from Brian, an old friend from NYC. Kelsey is Brian&#8217;s wife&#8217;s God Daughter: &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Kelsey came out of the closet today.

		<description><![CDATA[One would think, leaving NYC after 21 years and moving back to the area where I grew up, Reading, PA, that I would indeed feel a sense of failure. Oddly, I don&#8217;t. Instead, I feel something that feels more like completion. No, I&#8217;m not saying, &#8220;I&#8217;m home, dig a hole and throw me in; life [...]]]></description>

Clearly, though, there is activity, since, while there&#8217;s no way for you to know this, i&#8217;ve been working on this post for the last three days. Whenever I think to start writing again, I have to go up and do a scene. It&#8217;s Monday night, 9:13 precisely. Tomorrow I [...]]]></description>

In no particular order, with no particular relevance, rhyme or reason. Follies. Sondheim&#8217;s Follies. One of my favorite Sondheim scores. J &#038; I went to see it at [...]]]></description>

Funny what happens in your life when you stop looking for something to happen. Tonight, dinner at Rene Pujol. It will be wonderful. And then, who knows.

		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year! I&#8217;ve previously mentioned the Christmas Eve bayberry mojo. And now, here is the New Year&#8217;s Eve mojo tradition. A quick internet check shows nothing about my family&#8217;s traditional NY Eve mojo. My guess is that it is a mix of PA Dutch and Scottish tradition, or just something that got started long [...]]]></description>
