We essentially only have three weeks left here in NYC. I feel a little frantic because there is still just so much I want to see and do. I’m not sure how much we will get to, but I know I will give it my level best effort. I also can’t guarantee all our good, healthy habits will survive this last hurrah. We gave that our level best too. But things may get a bit hedonistic, can’t lie.

It’s safe to say that we are entering into this last section of time with gusto: friends joining us from Maine and from Virginia, dinner reservations at some very interesting restaurants, planned tours and visits and routes. It promises to be a pretty sweet finale, especially as it culminates just past Thanksgiving and as the city is getting itself all decked out for the holidays. It still feels magical.
