and sad to leave megan and steve’s, but i did have a terrific trip. ok, truly, i basically ate and drank my way through lower manhattan, talked to good friends and enjoyed the luxury of four days of free time. amazing, that free time. no alarms, no squabbles, no work, no hard and fast committments….but no family either. i loved my trip, but right about the 4th morning i heard a little voice. “i miss my husband. i miss my kids.” maybe because i knew i’d see them that night, or maybe because this 4 days among the longest trips i’ve had away from them.

and city life? loved being car free, able to walk out and jump on the subway. loved the energy and the people and the people watching. missed my mountains. missed my wide open parks. missed my quiet streets in my quiet neighborhood. loved the visit, but couldn’t do it as a life. lucky me, i get to visit often and have the best of both worlds!

there’s a great path just across the west highway from my friends. i’ve been dragging megan out every morning i’ve been here, enjoying the views, the rain and the company. mostly the company.

this morning was clearish and we got a good stroll in. we needed to walk off dinner from friday night, one of the best meals i’ve ever had. we did a tasting menu and food and wine pairing at a newish nyc restaurant called boulay. amazing food, better wine and just a great night. megan had been telling me about it for a week, excited to have somebody to take as her husband didn’t think the menu was his thing. loved it! after one course, i decided to just eat whatever and everything they put in front of me. oh, and drink all the wine too. couldn’t have done better!

yes, i know i’m a dork. but people walk in malls all the time, so why not airports? my flight was delayed, so i did a bunch of laps around the concourse before taking my seat to fly to new york for several days.

Kim and my attempt at running today was thwarted by snow and ice. We got out there and gave it a good try, but the sidewalks were slick, the streets were slick and the neighborhood is all hills. Our time is decieving. We went up the hills (with decent footing) quickly, but going down was an attempt at comedy. To make things better or worse, we brought my dogs along. Sometimes they helped us stay up, sometimes, well….not so much. It was pretty to be out in the snow and mountains, though.
