Apologies for being a haphazard poster the past couple of days. I’ve had a lot going on. At Worth, also known as “the real job,” we’re closing our April/May issue. (It’s going to be great!)

And on the home front…yours truly got engaged last night.

I enjoyed writing that sentence so much that I’ve been staring at it for about five minutes.

My fiancee isn’t a blogger like me, so I won’t go into a lot of details, but her name is Sarah and she’s a dream come true for me. I’m a lucky man.

She’s even supportive of me sharing our engagement with the world on my blog.

I will tell you one funny coincidence: I popped the question in a suite at the Algonquin—we had our first date there—and after some champagne and a lot of phone calls, we went downstairs to hear Eric Comstock and Barbara Fasano in the Oak Room.

And who was there waiting to enjoy the music—which was wonderful—but Cornel West?

Who was, as always, charming and gracious and very kindly sent us two glasses of champagne. Quite sweet of him.

Anyway…before I get too maudlin, I’ll sign off. But when you have news this good, you want to share it. Thanks for listening.
