Gag me with a spoon,... http://www.thesmitten.com/archives/2006/09/the_twobies_thu.html http://www.thesmitten.com/archives/2006/09/the_twobies_thu.html Thu, 14 Sep 2006 08:27:01 -0500 My 9/11 story is barely worth noting. I was checking my morning mail when a secretary from the next office ran in and said told us the first plane had hit. We had an hour or so of precarious innocence... http://www.thesmitten.com/archives/2006/09/room_for_unexce.html http://www.thesmitten.com/archives/2006/09/room_for_unexce.html Fri, 08 Sep 2006 12:30:36 -0500 Last month, this site marked its third anniversary of polluting the internet with unremitting smit and smite, but I didn't make a big fuss about it because I have to admit that for a while now, I feel like I've... http://www.thesmitten.com/archives/2006/09/adding_to_the_r.html http://www.thesmitten.com/archives/2006/09/adding_to_the_r.html Tue, 05 Sep 2006 09:52:01 -0500 I promised you a full, detailed exposition of our outrageous anniversary dinner at Blue Hill at Stone Barns last Sunday night, but frankly, I'm not sure it's an interesting read.
