If you haven’t already figured it out, I’m a bit of a Francophile. But I will confess that going to Beaune was a hard decision. I went in March and the beaches of France were calling. I kept picturing myself catching some rays in Nice, having some Bouillabaisse in Marseille, or going broke in Cannes. …

I’m always a little aggravated when people say “I can’t believe people raise children in New York City, it’s so dangerous”. Granted, I don’t want to have children (I knew this since I was 13 years old), but I get a little upset that someone is bad mouthing my city. Especially since it comes out …
