Dining in Montauk 2012
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor For a second year, I’ve gotten the opportunity to vacation in Montauk NY. It’s part of “The Hamptons”, which as most know, is generally regarded as a place for the wealthy, upper crust set to summer. Although Montauk is not as exclusive as East Hampton, and at one time was thought to be for a more laid-back surfer crowd, it now tends to caterer to a trendier, affluent, mothers who look amazing in their swimwear, while holding toddlers, type inhabitants. Which is fine, I certainly don’t mind the fact that I was eating breakfast on the beach not two feet from John Slattery (Mad Men).…

Partaking: A Polite Bribe
Was invited to a screening of a biopic on the Apostle Paul called A Polite Bribe by filmmaker Robert Orlando.

I love that he was able to find his role with her daughters and with Bruce. But most of all, there was always something so genuine about their enjoyment of each other. On…

Commentary – J. Edgar
He was a mysterious figure in American history. His personal life was always shrouded in mystery … He was this bulldog figure, the face of the FBI, and he changed our country in a time of great lawlessness. Bank robbers were going from state to state becoming local heroes; he cleaned up all that mess. Got rid of the Commies and Bolshevik invasion while single handily creating this new federal police force. He was part of modern forensics and identifying everybody in our country. But then there were all those salacious rumors that you heard about him too. So it was very exciting to see somebody’s (Clint Eastwood) very specific…
