I thought I'd share this although I may have told you some of these stories already. This is the personal, very non-technical essay that schools require for admission. Of course the pictures won't be included and I may tweak it a bit, but it's alm...

I’m at the Aloft Hotel in Dallas. It’s part of the W Hotel chain so it’s funky and classy and has the Bliss toiletries that I think are swell. Not as great as the W in L.A. but I’ve got nothing to complain about. Wait, I do. They don’t have room s...

…But I’ve been to San Francisco about seven or eight years ago and although I knew I liked it, I wasn’t prepared to fall in love. It was the same elating feeling I had a few months back when I went to Sedona and made sure to wear all the long dres...

Today I had a meeting with a potential client. On the way there I decided to stop by the drugstore and pick up cough syrup for obvious reasons. Because I was rushing and clinically impatient, I quickly swallowed two big gulps when I got in my car ...

This week I seriously nerdied up and wrote much of my sample essay that I'll need to apply to grad school. I'd like to thank the muses and Prof. Marcus for helping me along! I haven't written anything academic since circa 2003 and pulling a twent...

To say my father was upset yesterday would be a terrible understatement. He was furious and disappointed and beyond irritated. The first 20 minutes of that phone conversation went something like this: "Hi Dad, how are you?" "How am I? I'll tell yo...
