Ramblings...

Is anyone an HTML guru, or at least semi-knowledgeable about html? I have a question that so far nobody has been able to help me with, so please messge me if you know a thing or two. It has to do with linking a _blank target page.

Thanks!

FINALLY, I have gotten tagged by the lovely TrayC. I was beginning to feel left out of the madness. So, rules of the game: write eight things about yourself: facts, unknowns, whatever you so desire. Then, tag six people of your own choosing.

Eight things about me:

I am beyond a bookworm. It was not until I reached college that I did not spend each and every class reading snippets of some book on the sly under my desk, leading all prior teachers to complain to my parents that I was a... read more

When I first met Tanichka back in the summer of '22 during high tea at The Plaza, she had just completed the Itiderod in under 2 days 17 hours. During her charge to become only the 2nd woman sleddist to cross the finish line alive, she had lost all of her dogs but the Dachsund who had unfortunately lost his sense of smell after an Eskimo, mistaking him for a rare Terra Interna Seal, pelted him on the snout with the blunt end of his harpoon. From that point on, she never went anywhere without Sir Reginald Dots at her well shod heels.

The cakes had just arrived and she was under the table looking for her keys. We all assumed she'd lost them in the snows of Alaska and her gravy colored-Bentley would sit rusting in the Connecticut sun interminably. She was stunning in her Schiaparelli, bravely scouring the floors of The Rose Room. Sir Reginald Dots of course was no help....yet she continued to search for her keys, enlisting the aid of the concierge, the shoe-shine man, and the magician.

At 5:30, with the tea gone and the Lebowitz wedding party waiting for the room, Tanichka was forced to give up. As we strolled down Fifth avenue on our way to 21, she continued to search....in the display window at Harry Winston, in the cab of a particularly surly livery driver, in the pocket of a passing Irish police officer (which of course led to her infamous affair with Seamus O'Flaherty in the Caymans).

To this day, Tanichka continues to search in vain for her keys. Her indomitable spirit, unwavering optimism, hypnotic powers over sled dogs, and good manners have made me proud to know her, despite the unpleasantness with Cyril. She remains a triumph of human endurance, ingenuity, and beauty.

In the now immortal words of Charles Lindbergh on the occasion of Tanichka stealing The Spirit of St. Louis to run guns to the rebels in Caracas:

"That lady's crazy"

Tanya is a firecracker! She makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. She's got a WONDERFUL sense of humor, backed up with a good dose of snarkiness. She's got a heart of gold and she's a great friend. If you're lucky enough to see past the pretty doll face into the person, you'll find quite a treasure...
