Who thought 21A was an appropriate clue, on any level, at any point in time... ever... let alone in this day and age, or am I overreacting @rexparker? At least it offends everyone, so there’s that. #crossword #nytxw

Bad day for editors: AT&T’s Stephenson using *conservations* instead of *conversations* and Tiffany mixing up letters and calling *LVMH* *LMVH*

Thanks @AlexanderLaskin, I had a great time.
Had lots of fun moderating a PRSA webinar on the shareholder activism with two distinguished speakers - @bhschaffer of @ProsekPR and Charles Koons of @MorrowSodali Thank you for this excellent learning opportunity!
All of these Dora-related clues as of late are killing me. #NYTXW

I sure hope when I’m dead and gone people remember me for something other than my weight later in life. #crosswords cc @rexparker

What a special night @RacinesNYC with @paulliebrandt in the kitchen, @jimsligh and @plepeltier behind the bar. We drank a 1974 Clos Joliette Jurancon Sec, a 2009 Jean-Francois Ganevat Cotes du Jura Les Chalasses Marnes Bleues and a 2009 Domaine du Collier Saumur Blanc
We found Frankfurt’s Old Opera House
Can’t go to Tampa and not visit @bernssteakhouse. Many thanks to Brad Dixon for the guidance and conversation.

Nothing but water and salads after visits to Hirsch, Rhys, Littorai, Arnot-Roberts, Kistler, Flowers, Cruse, Single Thread, Cafe Zuni...
Ten visits later to @MetOpera we conclude our season with Cyrano de Bergerac with Roberto Alagna and Jennifer Rowley nyti.ms/2plnAg3
Last month I saw a dress rehearsal of @MetOpera’s Eugene Onegin. Tonight I am seeing it live feat. Anna Netrebko nyti.ms/2nhNVdV
Would be great to have him back as mayor, or better yet POTUS. @NYT op-ed: “Climate Progress, With or Without Trump” nyti.ms/2nEfxa5
This will be good, as it will separate activists with legitimate issues from hedge funds looking for a quick score: reut.rs/2oBV6Kq
Seeing Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio, @MetOpera: “Spruce and Taut, the Met Opera’s ‘Fidelio’ Looks Good at 17” nyti.ms/2mNEZgt
Fun with mom at the @MetOpera for a dress rehearsal of Eugene Onegin with Anna Netrebko. Many thanks to the Patron Program for inviting us.
On my 10th work anniversary, I'm doing what you would expect (and I would want): flying out of NYC on a Sunday to go see a client.
