When we started planning this last leg of Faux Birds Season 3 back in January, Larry suggested that maybe we spend a few nights in New York before heading to Asia. I was beyond thrilled but made my puppet hand say: “Be cool, Kim, just be cool.” I replied casually, “Sure, if you want to.”… Read More I choose New York every time
We squeezed a lot of living into our last two weeks in NYC. We had some incredible sights, sounds, food, drink, and experiences. We traveled several neighborhoods and sought out some of the remaining bucket list items of Peak Experiences. This final NYC post will probably have more detail than normal, but it feels right… Read More Late Post: Last two weeks in NYC
We had back-to-back company the past two weekends, and it makes our hearts glad to be able to have our friends come join us in NYC. First the Townes came in for a quick visit. We squeezed in a lot of good living in the two nights they were here. We had drinks and dinner… Read More Whirlwind of company
It’s crazy to feel that we are already half way through this trip. We’ve already done so much, seen so much, consumed so much. But we also have a whole lot to look forward to between now and when we head south (first to Philly; then to Florida). We have some of our favorite people… Read More Half way through NYC
We are already a third of the way through our visit to New York. Last week was wonderful. Gorgeous weather, daily walks through Central Park, explorations of new neighborhoods, regular visits to the gym. City-wide celebrations of Halloween, Diwali, and the NYC Marathon. This week we’ve felt some added pressures and stresses, both work related… Read More New York as a state of in between
I’ve been mulling something over for a while. I think I’ve finally realized what I’m feeling, but I’m no closer to being able to explain it than I was when I first started experiencing the tugging in my heart. So I think I’ll pull on some threads here and see what I uncover. I am… Read More The heart wants what the heart wants
Delayed update post: Week eight+ 11/27 -12/4 , our last week in NYC for this visit, plus a side quest for Kim to Philadelphia, and then Florida for our next multi-month stop. Despite it being our last week, it pretty much followed the routine of all our previous: Monday morning I was in the gym… Read More Better late than never – Week eight summary
The end is so close. I look at the desk calendar and I feel like Grover in the beloved children’s book, Monster at the End of the Book. But I cannot stop time. The only thing I can do is try to squeeze as much as possible in before we leave Friday morning. To that… Read More Week seven highlights
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
