And I quote: “I can’t believe I’m saying this but Tom Dittmer has written the best memoir I’ve read all year.” —Jesse Kornbluth. I don’t even know where to start to thank @jessekornbluth and so many of YOU reading this right now for the wonderful response to His Grace’s touching, brave, often hilarious and occasionally profane memoir #talkinbig. Read Jesse’s review here https://www.headbutler.com/reviews/talkin-big/ and also @amazon and yours truly’s post via link in my profile ☺️

Well done, sir; well done this beautiful loving family; and well done the honor guard and 3d Infantry. You make us all proud. Blessings.

So proud of His Grace and the turnout last night fir the NY launch of Talkin’ Big Our friends the Landrigans graciously hosted @verdurajewelry and it seemed only fitting that the author wear a piece or two of their signature elegance. Coco Chanel eat your heart out. Thank you ALL dear friends and Insta-friends for your support. We are gobsmacked! More at www.talkinbig.com and also via link in my profile. .

Keeping it simple this year as am only in NYC a few days but cannot keep myself from decorating. A great and easy solution is always to do lots of one thing. Between the fragrant garland and sweet scent of narcissus our new NY pad still looks like the living room of “Sanford and Son” but it sure smells good. .

The ever festive New York classic, Christmas lunch at Doubles. They do a beautiful job year after year, and such a fun, lively, well-dressed(!), and talkative (shoutative?) crowd that one’s ears ring for hours afterward. #andithoughtitwassleighbells
