Monday, September 21, 2009  Take a break!  Re-posted from the
Blue Rose Girls.  As I mentioned in a past post, it's been a
particularly hectic summer, and as a reward for/respite from the
stress, the editorial group took off a few hours early last
Friday for an outing. And where did we go? I'll give you five
clues:  Perhaps you've guessed it? We went to the High Line!
Faithful readers of this blog, and fans of Peter Brown's The
Curious Garden, will recognize this amazing public space. This
was only my second trip to the High Line--my first was at night,
and it was just as lovely, and a much different feel:   After
our stroll on the High Line, we made our way to the roof deck of
the bar Brass Monkey for drinks and work gossip. And now it's
back to the grind. But no matter how busy one is, a break is
always necessary and can do wonders to the spirits. I was
talking to an author friend at brunch yesterday about what we do
to relax--she records a ton of TV shows and takes a chunk of
time to watch them all at once
