The weather in the greater Phoenix area is wild. This storm started in Queen Creek and worked it's way across Phoenix. It started as a sand funnel turned into rain and kept moving fast across the desert. Nothing to stop it as it picked up speed.

Make A Wish 25th Anniversary in Phoenix, AZ. ...and we, ladies, all wished for a date with David Hasselhoff.

It was a star-studded evening marking the 25 Anniversary of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Arizona. All the glamorous and beautiful people attended the elegant festivities held at the Phoenician in Scottsdale, AZ. Pat McMahon was the master of ceremonies and David Hasselhoff the man of the evening. Mr. Hasselhoff was handsome and dashing and a just lovely and endearing man. http://www.dailyeats.com/2005/05/make-wish.html

Celebrated a wonderful delightful and delicious Thanksgiving dinner with Tom Spataro, my brother; Courtney Pulitzer and Larry Aronson. Larry, a fantastic cook did all of the cooking.

Wow! The family and the cousins came together to celebrate Grace Riccicardi's 90th Birthday. For 90 years old my grandmother looks fantastic. A glimpse of what I'll look like in my older years.

It was a pleasure to meet President Bill Clinton at his Library Fundraiser at Capitale on Bowery in NYC. What an evening! I got a hug and a handshake from him!

The Clinton years were my more profitable years in my working career. I will support President Clinton anyway possible!

I don't know about you but the NYC Marathon is one of the most emotional sports for me to watch. It's beautiful watching the runners defeat 26 miles through New York City ending in Central Park. Runners from all sorts of ages, races, genders, from different cities, religions, countries, backgrounds all challenged for the same goal.

One of my most wonderful trips. A trip that is very heartfelt. A trip in which I fell in love with Rick Winters, who I actually believed I would spend the rest of my life with. Alas our paths after that magical moment parted.

Happy Thanksgiving

Horror of 9.11 left me needing to see what had happened. I was stunned and was in a deep state of disbelief. 'How could this happen to our beautiful city.' I started at Union Square and took the N train to Canal and Broadway. Walked from Broadway down to Battery Park. I thought about my bike ride on 9.08. I rode a bike to the Battery stopped in the garden for an hour or so and was thinking how beautiful our city is.
