New Year's 2010

It's interesting. This is the second year in a row that I Missed the ball drop or really participated in any sort of New Year's Eve Party. I think that this calls for a strict set of resolutions for 2010. The first being that I plan a festive New Year's for 2011. The others I know far too well what they have to be and will most certainly dive right into embracing them as soon as tomorrow. Ok, maybe Monday.

Maybe I'm the Grinch

Christmas 2009. Already it's kind of a blur. Some years the holidays have a sense of pageantry and awe, filled with countless events and parties. I don't mean to be a downer, but this year was devoid of any and all of those affairs. The entire holiday for me was like a puzzle where none of the pieces fit and no one wanted to help you put it together. This was a year where a lot was going on in my life and is a year I will never forget for so many reasons. As the New Year approaches, I just hope I've learned my lesson and carve out a new path for myself.

The Ladies who Lunch; and us.

What a trip. I just returned from my Company's Holiday Lunch, held at the Doubles Club. For those who don't know what that is ( I didn't), it's the private club within the venerable Sherry Netherland Hotel. Our Lunch was terrific, though the real entertainment was the people watching. This place was filled with every 5th Ave Dowager within a mile. Wow, what it must be like to lunch in opulence day in and day out, pretending not to notice your many friends plastic surgery or that the story they just had to tell you, you've heard from them at least three times.

When we arrived, they glared at us like barbarians looking to rape and pillage. What's funny about that is, if you ever want to see a society lady get ghetto, try and take the last bon bon at the desert table. She'll fuck you up. So what's interesting to me remains that this set of people, who are mostly in God's waiting room, have decided to spend their days in complete isolation. They are isolated from the masses, creating a diminishing return to society. Its almost sad.
