Cocktail Journalist. One in a Worship of Writers.

I won't go into why it's been so long since I last posted. That's for another day, another posting. So here goes nothing. My first posting was based on a favorite pastime of mine, collecting quotes. Below is a quote from a forgotten but funny FOX show. A promise to a woman is just a lie that hasn't happened yet . Unhappily Ever After - 8-16-1998 Why this gem?

Working at the Met gave me an education in snobbery, corporate greed and all things opera, and I loved it. Hated management but loved my job.
