I’ve always known Tracye as a vegan, health educator, and one of the most attractive energetic, and positive people you’ll meet in the capital city. As an omnivore, I credit Tracye’s pluses to her choices and priorities especially when it comes to food. I was honored when Tracye asked me to host her book launch [...]

I’ve never seen the NYC window displays at night. Boy, did I almost miss something at Saks Fifth Avenue across from Rockefeller Center! [Snowflake & Bubbles] Here’s just a taste. Bergdorf Goodman is always on the level of art. Fashion is art. Windows are canvas with a built-in frame. This year’s theme was “Wish You [...]

I remember meeting Elizabeth Edwards many years ago. I found her so real, direct and easy to talk to or even grumble with. This was when John Edwards was running for the Senate. Even then, I said, “She’s going to be the Edwards story.” Elizabeth Edwards, 61, joined the ancestors today in her home in [...]
Congress must extend these needed unemployment benefits before it goes home for the year. And it must bolster economic growth by preserving tax cuts for our middle class. I’m glad that the House of Representatives voted to do that this week, and I call on the United States Senate to do the same. — Vice [...]
