This looks like something I dust with.

If the crowd at Whole Foods broke into La Traviata I think I would melt.

So, Prom King’s best friend “J” and I have known each other for two years, and J set us up three weeks ago (yes, it took that long to actually find a free night in my schedule here in New York!). Although I’d glanced at his Facebook profile, I had never met him before - so technically, this date was blind.
When we first started chatting via text, I told him that I abhorred the mind-numbing usual bulls—t of Dinner & Drinks. In fact, I believe I borderline begged him for something - ANYTHING! - different.
Thus: PROM NIGHT, which was - I might add - HIS idea. He rented a stretch limo, bought a corsage and a boutonniere, wore a pink tie, popped a bottle of champagne, and took me on a Tasting Tour of some of New York’s best seafood: first Sushi Seki, then Pearl Oyster Bar, then Bond Street - and he had the best dishes picked out at each place. PLUS, he topped it all off with a box of cupcakes. UnREAL. (AND HE’S A LAWYER, not a Broadway producer or something. In other words, ya’ll have no excuse.)
It was, hands down, the most creative, enthusiastic, imaginative blind date I’ve ever been on.
Gentlemen, take note: If all dates were this inspired, no woman in New York would EVER groan at thought of yet another one.
OMFG - she’s had an eating disorder, had her nose done, had her boobs done, has fake hair, currently probably has an eating disorder, has had every hair on her body electrically removed, gets botox injections, wears pancake make-up and false eyelashes nearly every day, demands men buy her expensive things! who would date this woman?
Oh wait. Judging by the waistline in that suit - my guess is New Jersey mobster OR middle aged mob lawyer. Both of which are likely to be sexually confused which might be why they would regress to high school and take a cock-tease, imeantransvetite out on a ‘date.’

To deal with something unhealthy, a person needs to be as healthy as possible.
Haruki Murakami.
This is so true. When I busted my knee skiing in April, the first thing my physical therapist told me is, ‘you’re athletic and in good shape, recovery will be easier for you.’
I guess this is probably something anyone who is going through a physical (cancer, pneumonia, the flu) or emotional (divorce, unemployment, break-ups) crisis needs to get through it.

Does running sum up my life philosophy?
“Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but becasue they want to live life to the fullest. If you’re going to while away the years, its far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive than in a fog, and I believe running helps you do that. Exerting yourself to the fullest within your individual limits: that’s the essence of running, and a metaphor for life.”
From What I Talk About When I Talk about Running by Haruki Murakami

“In media, particularly since the advent of the Internet, misunderstanding the source of competitive advantage often leads managers to inadvertently build bridges for competitors when they think they are actually strengthening the moat” around their businesses.”
— From ‘The Curse of the Mogul.’ I’ve been thinking about this a lot these days.

Wise words...
“I spend too much time at work doing my job.” So true.
If I spent half as much time building relationships, expanding my network and looking for opportunities to advance my career as I do, coaching people who will never remember to thank me, filing paperwork that no one will read (unless someone’s ass is on the line), writing reports that in a very veiled way blame someone for something they will never be held accountable for, I wouldn’t be hanging out in my glass tower banging my head against the wall(window).
