I want to know what her kid was up to during the trip!
Also, she really missed out at this point:I considered driving our golf cart off the villa grounds to the Golf Grill, overlooking the nine-hole course, but that, Emma said primly, would set a bad example of maternal drinking and driving...then she later talked about how the kid loved to drive the golf cart around. Uh, you have a built-in chauffeur, lady!

She also doesn't want her daughter to see her drink, I think you're forgetting.

Also, I have a deep suspicion about this:La Trattoria, a pizza and pasta place near the golf course that looked as though it belonged in a Scottsdale, Ariz., mall.
I would guess all rich white people leisure/retirement enclaves look pretty much the same, with the exception of the surrounding landscape, no matter where you go. tbf, there are parts of suburbs in most areas of the country that try to approximate this aesthetic.
Laurel, I mean her daughter could drop her off! She could feign sleepiness or something when the kid picks her up later, I don't fucking know. And exactly how "irresponsible" is letting your college student kid see you drink like an old woman? It's not binge drinking, so it's a relatively great role model experience

There’s also an endorsement deal. A few weeks ago, LugLess, a start-up that ships luggage for travelers, named him its spokesman. The company noticed his Twitter messages about lost luggage and high jinks in first-class cabins wearing pajamas.
“He flies about 200,000 miles a year and is always posting glamorous pictures of himself, and that works for us,” said Ben Luntz, a founder of LugLess. “Justin gets attention for better or for worse. He gets people talking.”

“I hated my job every single day of my life,” said John Cook, 55, who got a modest inheritance that allowed him to leave the company where he earned $150,000 a year as a database consultant and enter nursing school.His starting salary will be about a third what he once earned, but database consulting does not typically earn hugs like the one Mr. Cook recently received from a girl after he took care of her premature baby sister. “It’s like, people get paid for doing this kind of stuff?” Mr. Cook said, choking up as he recounted the episode.

The staunchest opponents of Lucasfilm’s expansion are now being accused of driving away the filmmaker and opening the door to a low-income housing development. That has created an atmosphere that one opponent, who asked not to be identified, saying she feared for her safety, described as “sheer terror” and likened to “Syria.”

“DON’T you know the mayonnaise trick?”
My friend Dori and I were standing in front of Empire Mayonnaise in Brooklyn, the city’s first and only artisanal mayonnaise shop, ogling its wares: flavors like lime pickle and, of course, bacon, when she asked me that.

The first time I tried it, I achieved the lightest, most ethereal mayonnaise I’d ever made. It tasted deeply of the good olive oil I used, seasoned with lemon and mustard. We ate it with roasted asparagus, dunking the spears two, three and four times into the tasty sauce until we swabbed the bowl clean.

And what a trick — a potential game-changer, the kind that turns homemade mayo from a special-occasion recipe into an everyday endeavor, ending our dependence on subpar, corn-syrup-filled commercial stuff.
