I keep walking by all the police and black limos here for the General Assembly at the United Nations – there are pockets of crowds and streets roped off – and I walk around lost in my own thoughts.
Met a client at Avra for lunch and it was worth mentioning – Avra – we started with the Gigantes (large lima beans in tomato sauce) and grilled octopus (which I admit I was reluctant to have but they were delicious) and then I had the lamb salad – all delicious and a delightful environment – french doors leading to a seating outside. Definitely worth checking out if you are in NY.
And so the saying goes, and when the day starts at 4AM, you think there is plenty of time to accomplish everything you want to do with the rest of your life. A walk to Central Park, packing, meeting with clients, zipping to the airport on an earlier flight, getting home, seeing friends and beloved dogs, sleeping in one’s own bed – I look forward to today and all the possibilties, anticipation, and fulfillment it…
There are so many things that seem to be having a boomerang effect lately that I’m wondering if I flew into a time warp somewhere between Istanbul and Shanghai. Caught up with an old colleague of mine for drinks this evening and you’d think that the meeting in and of itself would have just been a pleasant how are you doing – instead it shed light on some of the goings on that one might…
Long walk to the park this morning that started in the dark. Walking down the streets of New York listening to my IPOD and still the noise was all around me, steam rising from the streets, people everywhere at 5:45 in the morning – the city that never sleeps. The foilage in the park is just starting to look like fall is arriving and there is a smell of cooler air. My Flower writes that…
Last night, after finally getting to bed pretty late, I questioned the real estate I have given certain people, certain themes, and decided that I had taken my eyes off the goal. So I started thinking about those goals all over again – what are they? – well, in macro terms they involve having a fabulous life. While this might seem like a selfish goal in and of itself – you can only spread goodwill…
TL is putting a sign up in my front yard. Maybe if all my friends run for political office – New Orleans has a shot.
I held out an olive branch and the Mesmerizer did not respond – yes, he gets year of the pig award – but it kind of makes you sad to know that a lack of fire might also translate into just lacking – in good manners, gentlemen behavior, common courtesy – you know, the things that make any person compelling. A woman is begged to question her own judgment.
I have not exercised, much less walked that much (due to typhoon weather) since leaving New Orleans – I need to move!
A day of peaks and valleys – of leaving oneself in too many places and finding yourself in old familiar territory. Steve writes from the LaLa porch that the weather is delightful – but he adds New Orleans seems empty. Here in NY, the city is brimming with people – I passed an outdoor bar at 5PM and it was standing room only. There is a continuous din of taxis blowing their horns and a…
