Note To Kids: My Time To Go, Plop Me At The Ritz-Carlton Club and Residences, San Francisco
This article about how Marie-Dennett McDill, an east coast socialite, spent her last days on earth at the Carlyle Hotel, nearly made me cry. So much I called our attorney and re-drafted our will.

Of note: DOJ says this is Nicky’s fourth bankruptcy (of which the US is aware), and “no creditors in any of the Debtor’s three previous bankruptcies were paid through the bankruptcies”. The DOJ must read D Magazine or D Home (thanks guys!): DOJ expects the Sheetses to owe 2007 taxes (deadline was October 15) since he informed them he has not filed this return nor paid any estimated taxes even though “he and his wife recently placed an advertisement in D Magazine claiming that he and Mrs. Sheets “sold over $200 million in property in 2007″. That September 9 lawsuit the Sheets filed against the US: denied by Judge Ed Kinkeade.
But get this: DOJ “seeks relief… to file a lawsuit against Coldwell Banker for wrongful failure to honor levies served on it in connection with the Sheetses’ unpaid income taxes”. Coldwell Banker’s parent company is Realogy Corporation.
