Will the prequel to Sex In The City, The Carrie Diaries be a hit or a flop? The CW show will debut in January, and to drum up interest they have started to release Season Preview clips on YouTube.
The show opens in Connecticut in 1984 soon after 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw loses her mother. I can’t say that this will make it to my DVR, but I can see the appeal. The trailer recently released makes me think the show which I’d initially thought sounded terrible may have promise.

Last weekend I stumbled upon a relatively new storefront just off of Tremont Street in the South End called Olives & Grace. Sofi, the owner of this cute shop, seeks to “feature emerging artists, gift producers, and small batch food makers“. The store struck me as the perfect place for purchasing custom gift packages.
Olives & Grace is a unique shop you should check out
Sofi (shown above) is busy adding new treats and products so return visits provide you with something new to try / see on each visit. However, she did mention that she always has something bacon related (my brother would come in just for that) and unique temptations for those with a sweet tooth.
Olives & Grace is closed on Monday and open from 12-8pm Tuesday thru Sunday. Stop by this cute storefront just off Tremont Street.

President George W Bush was keynote speaker 1-November.
The conference subject matter: How to outsource your money to avoid paying US taxes.
Interesting that the condition of his speaking was a complete media blackout. Would love media to ask Mitt Romney what he thinks about this.
ABOUT THE EVENT: Organizers of an investment conference in the Cayman Islands say they have been forbidden from disclosing any details about a speech by former President George W. Bush in the offshore financial haven, an event spokesman said Thursday.
The keynote speech by the former president is “totally closed to all journalists,” and conference organizers are forbidden from discussing any aspect of it even in general terms, spokesman Dan Kneipp said.
4-years later and I’m still ashamed he was my President

I would consider this Pitcha Purrfect (picture perfect).
Boston’s South End neighborhood is an amazing place if you are of Trick or Treat age. My neighborhood lacks the wild revelry in New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and elsewhere, but I love the low-key fun of watching thousands of kids walking up to each Bowfront Victorian for candy.
As you can see, its not just the kids who really get into the spirit of the holiday.
Here are a few more photos of some of the people out and about in the South End for Halloween last night. Click on the image to enlarge.
Part of our “Halloween tradition” which includes walking around part of the neighborhood is to stop by one particular home on Union Park Street because of their amazing pumpkin displays. This year had a Dr. Seuss theme. Below are photos of several of the Seuss O’Lanterns. As with the collection of photos above, click on the image to enlarge. 
Much thanks to Sergio for taking all these fantastic photos.
It is that time of year again. During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the US and around the world. These men raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.
While I couldn’t grow a mustache in even 30-days, I encourage you to participate in Movember. There is more information about the initiative at us.movember.com.

On Sunday night I’ll be heading to a special concert to benefit SpeakEasy Stage that includes Boston’s first ladies of song – Leigh Barrett, Mary Callanan, Kerry A. Dowling, and Kathy St. George. Tickets remain available for both Sunday and Monday night. If you plan on going on Sunday let me know and perhaps we can meet early for a drink. Tickets are available at the box office or on the SpeakEasy Stage Company website.
In light Hurricane Sandy, I wonder if those who are displaced believe Federal disaster relief efforts should be privatized like Romney suggests.
Latest case of Romnesia: 6/13/11: Asked about federal disaster relief to recent tornado and flood victims, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called the spending “immoral” and said disaster relief efforts should be privatized.
Not the most creative costume but funny nonetheless.
Recently The New York Helmsley (or The Ol’ Bitch as I use to call it) was remodeled and reopened as The Westin New York Grand Central. As the name would imply, it is just blocks from Grand Central Station.
The new hotel has 774 guest rooms that are all beautifully updated and fairly spacious. The Heavenly Bed the Westin brand promotes proved to live up to its name when I collapsed in my room after work.
The room includes a very functional desk business travelers will appreciate; complete with desk level outlets to charge your phone and laptop as well as a solid internet connection and plenty of desk space.
While the bathroom isn’t luxurious, it certainly is sufficient and provides enough space for a quick visit. 
The Westin NY Grand Central is located off of 3rd Avenue at 212 East 42nd Street. Its close proximity to my office and ample sized rooms ensures I’ll be returning to this new Starwood Hotel property.
