Funchilde

Today is my 35th Birthday. Maybe if I say or type that enough times it’ll sink in. Today is my thirty-fifth birthday. Nope. It’s still surreal. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that I am 15 years from 20 years old and 15 years from being 50 years old. I’m closer to middle-age [...]

One of the BEST gifts I’ve gotten recently is a Harry & David’s gift box! The box was too much for me to consume on my own and it came at the PERFECT time. I brought the box into the office of my New England client, and shared it during a recent all day staff meeting. AND, we polished the goodies off with a [...]

No rest for the weary. I am headed to Atlanta for a major event for my NY client. If anyone wants to catch up while I’m there, e-mail me at funchilde@yahoo(dot)com. Among other things, I am looking forward to being warm(er)!

1. We got 6-8 more inches last night. Of snow, you pervs! I basically just gave up and went into the office an hour late in jeans and a sweatshirt. 2. I pulled a muscle in my thigh/groin. Unfortunately, not via any activity that would make such pain worth it. 3. I’m going to the [...]

I’m just back from New York. The plan was to go see the Kara Walker exhibit at the Whitney, catch up with a friend or two and enjoy restaurant week, maybe watch a little hotel t.v. and get some work done. Who was I kidding? Friday started off great with a special delivery (yes, that’s [...]

When you wake up at 7am and realized you’ve slept on the couch in your office and now you have to go home and shower, change clothes and get back by 9am.  No worries though, I love what I do and I’m cooking up some serious fun for the weekend.

A five hour dinner followed by a 2 hour breakfast the next day. Random You-tube clips of the Chapelle Show and a 3 way conversation on race, religion and relationships. Pinot Noir and a toast to new loves, prolific careers, “dufflebag dogs”, and how if we put all of our travels together, we would have [...]

                             Marian Wright Edelman One of the many benefits of working in and around institutions of higher education, is the general plethora of socio-cultural programming available at most schools. Couple that with an Ivy-League nametag and you’ve got out of this world [...]

Hallo from Canada! [1] I’m pre-sick. You know that feeling where your head is fuzzy, feels like a 50 lb bowling ball, kind of head-achey and all you want to do is lean your head against a cool pane of glass and sleep? yeah, that is how I feel. [2] On the way to Montreal [...]
