2008 is almost upon us (well for those in America). This blog URL is sent out to friends and family that spreads the globe; Hong Kong, England, and Ireland-who has already celebrated. How is your hangover? You have had time to make and break resolutions- well done! And all points in-between from Connecticut, Boston, New York, Washington, DC, Florida, Chicago, Detroit, Vail, Las Vegas, California (RS, 90210 Baby-soon!), Mexico, Spain, etc.
My wish for 2008 is for all of you to be in good health (or getting there!), finding or continued happiness, all the best for you and yours, just enough stress and disappointment to keep it real, and to remember all the good times and get ready for more to come!
I am getting better everyday. Last appointment with specialist found some infection and swelling which causes severe headaches-finally cleared to drive, although still difficult to drive at night, and when it rains –forgetabhoutit! lights get all fuzzy and really cannot see the lines on the road. I am supposed to wean myself off pain meds next week, however I started early as it was getting rather tiresome being loopy all the time. Headaches are worse first thing in the morning and in the evening so I save the good drugs for when I cannot stand it any longer.
I have been on a few outings with family and close friends, where I am good for at least three hours-woohoo! My best friend from high school, who now lives in SoFl, swung through Washington on way to family ski vacation in the WV. I finally met her four kids and we had a great visit over lunch. Still waiting for the day when I can enjoy a perfectly prepared martini, or a great glass of wine with a perfectly cooked steak. Could be my first food critique!!!
I am hoping to be cleared by doc on January 3 and I can go back to work. I am bored out of my skull; clearly if I started a blog! How egotistical am I? It is a great way to get updates out to everyone at once and I look forward to sharing comments on restaurants, great wine, etc.
Again, cheers to an absolutely fantab 2008 and I hope to hear for you all soon!!! I will toast all of you at stroke of midnight while I sip POM & sparkling water and pop a happy pill!
Best,
Tara

Tara-
Let us be the first to congratulate you on the success of the surgery- still hard to say with those words and your name in the same sentence.
David and I wish you only the best in this coming year and all the ones after that.
Looking forward to talking in real time!!!
Dooty and Wahltha

Now you see how I saw the world when I broke my neck....good drugs make the lines a little fuzzy when driving.
Glad to hear you are on the mend and will be back to work soon.
Enjoy the POM!

Tara,
I'm so glad the surgery went well and that you are on the mend. I wish I could have been there for you, but I know you have amazing family and friends to take excellent care of you.
Much love, talk soon.

I definitely say tomato...and will love to join you whenever to do any of your food critiques...and lets not forget the wine, love the grapes...
I am very happy to hear that all went well, and that you will be perfect soon. And, let's face it, who can really see those lines on the road anyway???
see you soon,
ciao bella,

Tara,
I was very happy to get a few glasses of 'cheer' in with you before I left for LAX. I'll end you a private update on the job soon. but in the meantime I wanted to share my experience at CUT, WP's restaurant at the Wilting Beverly! In summary, it's BH's answer to the Source, with a BLT-esk steak theme. Of Course it's in BH so the cuts start from 21 day aged New York Sirlion and move up to 38 day Kobe at $80 for 6 ounces and $20 for every additional 2!! Anyway, it was superb and I have my first business card (Patty the M'd). It's a sell out, 2 month advance booking gig, unless you have the best Concierge in town on your payrole, it's nice to be working in the presence of real power, for a change!!! you know what I mean. Anyway, we (LV and I) had one main each, a couple of cocktails, some bloody fine PN and SB, with one side and one desert to share......no change from $300!! I'm at LAX on route to Tokyo to kick it up in the Golden-gai bar district for a week and then on to Hong Kong. Speak soon, glad you well.

Tara-
Glad all everything is going so well and that you've had the time and inclination to review your priorities. I like the idea of more balance between life and work... life is too short as it is and shouldn't be squandered on silly things like earning money. Glad we had time to chat and enjoy some Blue Moon! My new fav beverage...
Can I have Rockstar's number?
