Your life is a story.   Write it well.   Edit often.   It’s been so long since I’ve written that I’ve been feeling resistant about creating new material.

This Long Island enclave is synonymous with New York City pretention a la Gwyneth Paltrow. From the first time I visited last year, I was hooked.
