Buh-bye to Sarasota’s Main Street!
Buh-bye, C’est la Vie. Buh-bye Pastry Arts. Buh-bye Main Street Hardware. Buh-bye all those great little shops I swing in and out of on my way back and forth from client meetings and gal-pal hang-outs, and other varied and assorted downtown rendezvous. Just color me too cheap to pay for parking. But you can also […]
Show me the guts …
My MONEY magazine subscription came with an article on how to marry a billionaire. I don’t know. Color me new-fashioned, but shouldn’t MONEY be telling me how to make my own money, not latch on to someone because of his? Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not averse to dating men with money. And I’ve […]

Mel Martinez pulls a Palin
Florida Senator Resigns for “personal reasons”
Local journalist shows true grit … and commitment to news
I opened Creative Loafing last week and found a really important story — one that I think should have been the cover story instead of the chicken story that got that exposure instead.
The gg Monologues put the “fun” in profundity!
Amy Knapp, the creator of The gg Monologues, enjoys a good laugh. An alter ego of sorts for Knapp, her character, “gg” is an investment advisor who advises clients on financial matters by day and “writes” a column about the love and life matters of a single Sarasota girl by night.
Beach bunnies
I walk early in the morning sometimes on Siesta Beach. I usually go with a writer/friend of mine.
