Gayle King Interviews Lady Gaga on SiriusXM

One of the perks of being unemployed is being able to go anywhere, anytime.  Last week, my girlfriend and I planned a playdate for all of our girls.  At the last minute she texted me and told me that she won VIP tickets to a live taping of Gayle King interviewing Lady Gaga on SiriusXM.  Well, of course I wanted to go!  We got our caregivers to be with our four…

Indoor Swimming at the Downtown Community Center in Tribeca

We love being downtown so much.  There is always something to do: from playing in an empty Washington Market Park because it’s 26 degrees out, to enjoying the BEST cup of coffee and toasted bagel with cream cheese at Jack’s Stir Brew to a nice, warm dip in the pool at the Downtown Community Center.  That’s right, even in the frigid weather we’ve been having, we all trekked with our ice…
