Yup, I'm sneaking back to share something I made for Hugo's second birthday, which is less than two weeks away, followed by an update. Hugo is doing wonderfully. Of course, he's still not speaking, not much at all. Maybe we should've named him Harpo.  Yes, he's been evaluated up and down. They said he was advanced in ...

Here's an video farewell from Hugo. It's less than two minutes long and the drama really heats up at the one minute mark. Officially, this blog is now over. However, don't be surprised if you find me back here sneaking in to share pics, vids, hilarious stories and the occasional rant.  Thanks to all my readers, groupies, gushing ...

I've more vid and verbiage to post for you as promised, but at the moment, I'm late for work.   This pic was not snapped this morn, but properly conveys work & lateness. Oh, and although at a size 10, I'm no ballerina, those are not my shoes.

I've just been working very hard.   Well OK, I'm not dead yet but this blog will be soon.  Yes, big news to the many throngs of Toddler Tube fans -- this blog will be ending. Like in a just a few more posts. I've got a bit more to share and I'll perform a stunning dismount, but then it will be time to say goodbye from ...

Here's Hugo and my mom almost exactly one year ago. I love this pic. Now, here she is in this sneaky short vid I tookof them together this weekend.  Here, you see nothing but peace reigning. No crazy toddler moments trying to grab the dog's lips, no my mother getting annoyed with his repetitive baby games and correcting him with ...

When I was 18 years old I scored a nifty internship at W.W. Norton.  It paid nicely, I spent almost nothing by living with my parents on Long Island and it was during the winter so the company really needed an indentured servant. It felt very sexy working on 5th avenue, a stone's throw from the Lions at the Public Library.  I ...

Imagine Woodstock without the sex or drugs, but with a rockin' cafeteria.  Well, that's the new Woodstock 60's museum at Bethel Woods in a nutshell.  There's no permissiveness, it's totally clean and instead of having to call in the National Guard, I am told I'd need to ring up the PR department to see if I can be ...

Really behind. Oh ho ho ho! Thing is I've got recent thrilling vid of a trip to the Central Park Zoo, the Bethel Woods 60's Museum and mucho mucho more! But I need my commentary to sizzle as much as the cinematic moments.  And at the moment, it's after 11P on a weeknight and I don't got it.   Also, everyone I've ...

At work this week, I needed a photo of twins, preferably cranky ones, and I needed it fast.  But as it was for our blog, we didn't need it so bad I'd actually pay for an image.  Enter inspiration, my capture of Hugo's stranger anxiety (which lasted a week) and my paltry Photoshop skills...   I'm really proud of ...

OK, this pic of Hugo's 1st ice cream cone is the farthest thing from the blues, but let me explain. This eve a friend had the bright idea to meet up for drinks after work.  But usually "drinks after work" is too late or too early for me to make it, and besides, usually drinks after work means a venue that isn't ...
