Danny Wallace’s Cup of Tea

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Dear Danny,
I just wanted to send you a note to tell you that I was thinking about you.
I’ve got the kettle on and it happens that way. Whenever I go to make my second cup of tea (especially on a cloudy day), I think of your “another cup of tea and biscuits” moments from Yes [...]

The Air Up There

How to Act Like an Elitist
Although I do like to rant, I try not to “talk politics” around this space. This has to do with my fear of “alienating” people. Let’s face it, not that many people read this blog! I can’t take any chances!
But I am fired up! Read on!
Sam Harris, in Newsweek, defended [...]

The Greatest Circus Showman on Earth

Tuesday, September 16, 2008

P.T. Barnum creates the “Original Family Entertainment”
With the Circus blogtour at MomCentral.com underway, I wanted to make sure I took time to visit the P.T. Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, CT. Ringling Bros. circuses are touring the nation right now, and in just a few weeks, the Ringling show “Bellobration” will be coming home to Bridgeport, [...]

Dr. Who and the Roller Coaster

Friday, July 11, 2008

In my dream last night I was following Dr. Who (David Tennant) and some friends to an alternate universe.
Since it was a dream, it was alot like a Dr. Who episode, with strange creatures and great gaping caverns. We transported through reams of paper and The Doctor was his effervescent self.
My favorite part of the [...]

A Wopat Affair

Friday, June 27, 2008

Last night, I went to see A Catered Affair at the Thomas Kerr Theatre on Broadway. This was a fluke: one of the board members where I work called and said she had spare tickets for that evening, so I was off on the train to the city a few hours later.
Tom Wopat was a [...]

Why Brett Favre is So Great

Thursday, March 6, 2008

Or… The Lost Art of Playing Games

Brett Favre is retiring from football.
Brett Favre is also stepping down, out of the limelight. He is relinquishing his role as one of the few people left to look up to in sports. It was something he took seriously.
There are more than few people we can think of, off [...]

Best Way to Make Best Actress “Not There”
Every year the Academy changes up the Oscars to try and make better, faster, stronger. It’s the Six Million Dollar Man of television really.
Usually one of those tactics is to just drown out the nobodies when they are giving their speeches so that they are forced to stop [...]

Eli Manning, Give Back Your Hybrid Escalade!

Monday, February 4, 2008

Who doesn’t love a hero? And after a gorgeous performance in Super Bowl XLII, Eli Manning deserves to be one.
So, with 2008 marked already as the Year of Green, I can only humbly ask that our first hero of the year, Giants quarterback Eli Manning, give BACK to Cadillac the keys to their hybrid Escalade [...]

A Way to Occupy Her Time

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Photographer Julia Margaret Cameron took up her “hobby” at 49.
The camera was a gift from her family, a way to occupy her time while her husband traveled for work. She set up her own darkroom at their home on the Isle of Wight. She kept a journal.
She presented her own portfolio to the British Museum [...]

How to Win the Nobel Peace Prize

Saturday, October 13, 2007

You might have THOUGHT Mother Teresa won her Nobel Prize for caring for the poor and the hungry. But it was really her smack talk about the Bush family that sealed the deal.
Because, according to a headliner at the “Ethics and Public Policy Center” there is one fool-proof way to get yourself noticed by the [...]

Or… When Funny and Serious Start Leg Wrestling on the Puce Shag Rug
The sucky thing about being human is that even when you are HILARIOUS you aren’t hilarious all the time.
Like right now, I am a friggin’ laugh riot, but can you tell? No.
Why?
Because I am suffering from the appalling and much-talked-about (but little-researched) disease called [...]

Where to Eat in Maida Vale whilst waiting for Gordon Ramsay and Holdings to get the Warrington Sorted

Sunday, May 20, 2007

Or… Hello, lovely Idlewild, so long dodgy Truscott Arms…
Somewhere between the time Gordon Ramsay circled the Warrington last autumn in his 4×4 and this week’s first big test match at Lord’s, the Ruby Group of London has SOMEHOW managed to buy, close, gut, decorate, and re-open the council-housing hangout Truscott Arms on Shirland Road as [...]

Treading Water at the Warrington

Saturday, April 28, 2007

God, it’s gorgeous right now in Maida Vale… I just glanced down Clifton Gardens one afternoon and, suddenly, every tree is in leaf and the air is full of the smell of hyacinths in bloom.
Ahhh, spring… a time for freshness, renewal, of kicking open doors, shaking out rugs, polishing windowpanes, letting in the light.
Meanwhile back [...]

Glad day in London.

Wednesday, April 11, 2007

Days and days of beauty and wonder in London…
Shhhh!! … Can’t talk just now…
Too busy exchanging ideas with this flower and listening to Cary…
“All the lights on and you are alive
But you can’t point the way to your heart
So sublime, when the stars are aligned
But you don’t know
You don’t know the greatness you are
“Cause Blue [...]

Gordon versus the Empire

Tuesday, April 3, 2007

Bill Buford’s recent article on Gordon Ramsay’s slog in the U.S. (”The Taming of the Chef: Can Gordon Ramsay make it here?” April, 3, 2007 ) has me thinking again about the sins and virtues of the Ramsay Holdings pub venture, and the exhausting drive my darling head chef is taking into my homeland.
I discussed [...]
