New York is the greatest city on Earth, even if the Yankees play there. Many thanks to this diverse crowd of guestbloggers for allowing me to enjoy it with the wife and kids, while keeping all of us informed, outraged, titillated and in stitches.  It wasn’t exactly last year’s wild housesitting bash.

If you are a blogger, you may well be subject to the delusion that there is no one more fascinating than yourself, no one more astute or clever, and it’s a mystery why the rest of the blogosphere doesn’t get this. I know I am. Nothing like a good “about” to underscore the point and […]
