Take this with a pinch of salt, but I’d like to share my experience of women who ask me to work extra hard for them in the context of being women who like helping women.

I plan to see the Joan Rivers documentary this weekend and I’m thrilled; it’s long overdue information. I’ve always considered Joan to be the spiritual guide to my chosen home of Westchester County, even though she left neighboring Larchmont years ago for I guess some great part of LA. That’s fine.
