At noon, on Friday, December 23, I received a gift inquiry...from
my father. Like so many people, he had waited until the last minute to get a
gift for his wife. I asked him the same questions that I ask my clients and on
the busiest, let me repeat, the busiest (!) day of the year; I recruited my
sister's expertise, and we headed to midtown Manhattan. From my father's
perspective, he was thrilled - the "Dream Team" as he refers to us would
come home with the perfect coat. We scoured what was left at many midtown
locations, many times becoming frustrating with the picked-over sale racks, but
finally came across a beautiful shearling coat at Bloomingdales. It was the
last one and, in pure serendipity, it was her size. It was a very merry holiday in our household.
