One of my favorite pastimes in NYC is walking the galleries. No matter where I am in the world I keep a rotation of NYC museum memberships -- perhaps for the connection but mostly for the persistent invitation to return. #gischat #climate

True story building isn’t cherry picking but engaging in difficult conversations. #WWF

I would argue that when you get to a certain season of life the absurdity of priorities assigned to aging fail to resonate with you—at all.

Losing my keys? Girl, we are losing so much more at this moment in America that losing keys sounds precious.
