A Robust Mustache

I saw a mustache in downtown Chicago today that was so spectacularly robust I nearly snapped a photo with my phone. But I didn't want him to indignantly smack me in the face with what I believe was an accompanying (Yanni-esque) toupée.

If I were to write a haiku about it, it would be this:
Salt and pepper 'stache
Splendor not to be surpassed
Bushy-lipped was he.
 
But no photo. So you'll just have to take my word for it.

NYC Breaks Arms, Apparently

Rick Steves from PBS ...and MeSo I recently got back from New York City with good friend and Galavanting marketing superstar Maren Hogan. We filmed an episode about fun places to stretch your dollar in the Big Apple. Stayed at a great boutique hotel in Times Square, interviewed Wendy Perrin at Conde Nast Traveler Magazine...two floors up from Vogue. Oh, and I interviewed Rick Steves too, while at the New York Times Travel Show!

You know. A typical weekend.

Then we went to Rockafeller Center and went ice skating (mostly just for fun and not for the episode)...and it was fun! And then...poor Maren fell. It was a spectacular fall, and limbs went everywhere as ice splashed up on her adorable fushcia coat. She took it like a woman, and didn't even go to the doc for a couple of days -- we were kinda just hoping it was a fluke.

All the while Mr. Galavanting was watching ALL five kids. And he even took them all out to lunch. Super energetic of him. They were all raving about the fun they had when I got back. He is amazing.

So what does a weekend of fun, a broken arm, and five kids tearing up the place get you? This:
