The indulgences and experiences keep piling on. This week was chock full. I mean Chock. Full. We kicked it off with a fancy pants Michelin restaurant, Kochi, with our friends who were over visiting from Germany, Chris and Katja. We finished the evening with them enjoying Margaritas under a glass raised by the Statue of… Read More Week Six Highlights (delayed)
Good lord… I’m not even sure where to start on choosing highlights from this amazing week. From November 6 through November 12th, we had so many incredible experiences, I may need to go day-by-day: Monday I started the day as a normal Monday: gym, groceries, laundry, and some pre-cooking. But then I took off uptown,… Read More Week 5 Highlights
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,… Read More The End is near
We now return to our regularly scheduled shenanigans. (There is no week three summary since we were in Europe). We’ve been back in New York for a week. It feels like home; it just feels right. We got back Sunday, and did our usual quiet simple living Monday – Friday. We cooked at home, ate… Read More Week 4 Highlights
This second week went by fast. Too fast. Our friend, Adam, came to stay with us. He had work in the city so the timing was perfect. The weather once again was glorious with a weekend rainy exception. I’d say this week we did a good job blending living and living it up. Larry worked… Read More NYC week two review
Earlier I wrote, “There are serious compartmentalizations that have to happen in NY. There are certain concessions you have to make if you’re going to stay. At times you have to suspend beliefs, fears, repulsions, common sense, and even your humanity. At other times you have to cling to each and every one of those… Read More What you accept
Yesterday my still-new schedule was a little off. I ended up sleeping in a bit, spending some time with Larry. I decided to wait until after chores and housework to head to the gym. I did vary my route – I’ve been trying to walk every street between here and the 14th Street YMCA in… Read More Blessings of New York
Week one of our Nomad stay in New York has completely met our expectations and then some. I’m not sure I yet have any kind of organization around our stay or how I’m going to capture it, but some themes are emerging. Personal Wellness. Larry and I have both been trying to prioritize health and… Read More NYC Weekly Review
I am surprised at how quickly I felt at home here in New York. I expected to take a little longer to feel comfortable. To get my rhythm. To find my feet. But almost immediately things feel very natural. Even things that should not feel natural fall into place. There are serious compartmentalizations that have… Read More New York Reflections
Let’s see… where did I leave off? Right… I drove the car back to Massachusetts from Florida in early July. From there we hit the acceleration button. We quickly organized our next move of items to the family camp in New Hampshire. Mom and Dad were already up there, enjoying their summer away from the… Read More The Anatomy of Nomading Part 2
