For my birthday, I gave myself the gift of not having to completely clean up after my merry band of party guests (aka my dad, sister and nephew) departed. Which is just as well, as it gives me the chance to memorialize, in daylight, the birthday candles that spell out my name. It took just about a half a century, but finally “BROOKE” is one of the pre-assembled names on the rack-o-candles at Party City.

I’m not sure if this is a good sign or a harbinger of doom, but I plan to take advantage regardless.

Hopefully the extra information is useful, or at least interesting. If not, feel free to ignore it.

NYC did not get the 30 inches of snow promised last week. But Sag Harbor did.

And it was magic.

This year, our teacher holiday gifts are pumpkin loaves, as pumpkins have become the latest obsession around here. Recipe thanks to the NY Times, wrapping paper from One Kings Lane, rubber bands (the best part!) from MOMA.

We spent the day with almost 400,000 fellow citizens of the world speaking out and voicing our concern about the state of the global climate and demanding that the powers that be begin to actually do something to turn the tide of global warming before it’s too late.

My phone was full (of course) so I went old school and shot polaroids of some of my favorite signs… there was so much energy on the streets of Manhattan and it made me feel like we might actually make a difference. Plus it’s so important for our kids, the next generation of leaders, to grow up understanding the importance of speaking out for what you believe in.

I went to bed last night exhausted but happy.
