Seen: New Prez Cappy Bond Hill in the sandwich line at the Retreat. She got what appeared to be cheese on ciabatta. She appeared to be channeling Fran, dressed in pastels and with pearl earrings, which presumably is how she always dresses on her trips to Zambia.

Director Andrew Bergman, father of Teddy ’05, appears in a very important article in today's NY Times about people getting evicted from their studio space in Carnegie Hall with some words of wisdom and, of course, name dropping.

The Class of '08 has major issues. Or if they don't already, they soon will.

At most recent count, we have calculated at least 8 or 9 couples living together in senior housing. There's even one house that consists of two couples and one sad other person. Clearly all of these couples won't last the year. I fully intend to follow through on this
