I spent last night at Broadway’s Supper Club, aka, Feinstein’s/54 Below. Surprised? I didn’t think so. Alas, I digress. Yesterday, I went to see Swipe Right/Swipe Left: A Humiliating and Empowering Return to Dating (with Hannah and Tessa).

Hello Beautiful People, I believe, I believe, I believe, Oh I believe. There is love in Heaven I believe, I believe, I believe, Oh I believe. All will be forgiven.
