Never in my life have I said, "I want to watch the ball drop in Times Square"

Growing up in NJ, you know it is too damn cold and I need to use the bathroom every 5 minutes.

In bed with the flu.

Happy New Year.

Thankful for the flu shot otherwise I would feel so much worse

Answering a question during an issue panel on #HTA capacity building in CEE at #ISPOREurope

I have flown a lot this year. 24 flights in total.

180 flights in my lifetime

And yet every time I get on a plane I am just as excited as I was as a child

So that is where you are! Miss you down here!

Saw an escort at a bar tonight.

Legitimately worried for her safety after things the guy said and did and how she reacted and said don't you ever do that again and how she said she would never do something.

And I have way to check on her as they left.

Truly sad for her.

If traditional artworks aren't able to scratch that artistic itch of yours, perhaps you might be wanting to check out the paintings of Joachim Ingulstad of Norway.

Here's a 3-in-1 artwork of his that's simultaneously an oil, UV-reactive and also glow-in-the-dark painting. Interesting.
