“Mommy, all the furniture in our house talks. I know because my dresser said to me, “Lawrence, wake up.”

George is once again my hero. First of all, for Christmas he got me a Roomba and a Palm GPS system. I hate to vacuum and I’m always getting lost, so I was ecstatic to get both presents.

Yesterday I was having a somewhat tough day with my MS. I was sick on Monday with something Lawrence […]

Forty-four years ago today I was born Deborah Eve Frisch in St. Vincent’s Hospital in Greenwich Village.
