A Life in Sin (?) on the Plaza
A little over a year ago, Cutest and I merged our lives and homes, probably to our grandmothers’ horror for surely we were living in sin by moving into a condo on the Plaza. Before and since, many of our friends have wanted to know why we chose that location. Here’s why.
