Well, May 7, 2012 was quite a day, my friends. Quite a day. My girl, Jessica, and I made the drive from Westchester, NY to Farmingdale, LI to the Divamoms Book Club Luncheon with E.L. James, at Carlyle on the Green. The event was organized by Lyss Stern, founder of Divalysscious Moms (www.divamoms.com). As Jess and I were walking toward the waiting line, an older gentleman (around 70 years of age), who just got off […]
