I am unbelievably fortunate to maintain several homes to escape to.

No excuses about being bored!

In New York the only thing that can put a kink in my engine is the weather. Even subway crazies do not deter me.

So many diversions…theatre, museums, long walks in Central Park, shopping and watching home team sports clubs perform is must see TV for me.

In Florida I cannot stay inside when the weather is fabulous, especially when there is no humidity or scorching heat.

I never watch television in Florida. It is all about reading, swimming and aerobic exercise.

I limit drive time because drivers are cra cra. Destination beach is my only repeatable route.

Los Angeles is exercise driven, highlighted by beach hikes.

Writing is a given everywhere.

Planning cultural and dining adventures in Los Angeles are rigorously geared according to time of day and the traffic flow.

In France I never stay home. Always driving to new places of discovery or indulging in our biweekly market. I never do serious cooking in France. It’s all about wine, cheese and very fresh, locally sourced salad ingredients.

I am very fortunate to be able to experience different lifestyles which keeps me stimulated and my wine glass half full at all times.
