In the Last Week

Well is has been about two and a half weeks since we arrived home in NYC.  I say home because it feels like just that.  After living two years in Grenada and a few months with family, it is nice to have a place that at least has the potential of being a place we can settle for a while.  Plus we both love it here.  Last week I had a chance to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge which was a lot of fun.  I posted some photos on my Flickr photo site.  There is a link to on the right.  I’ve been trying hard to have them show up on the site but not luck yet.  We also went to see a concert pianist at Carnegie Hall with some friends this weekend.  Our friend’s friend was playing there and if you like that kind of thing I’m sure it was fantastic.  I don’t know much about it but that Marcel could really play and a really nice guy.  Christina and I both agreed we think they could jazz those things up a little bit.  Maybe tell a few jokes in between or at least some talking.  I’m sure there is protocol to follow.  Sunday I was up and not tired so since I was in NYC and it was 11:30 I went to the 24hr Apple Store.  I assumed I would be one of a handful of weirdos there at that hour, however it was pretty busy.  Finally yesterday I went to see a dumb movie (The Day the Earth Stood Still) with a friend of mine.  On my way to meet him it was snowing pretty heavily.  As I was walking by Central Park I paused to realize how thankful I was to make it NYC.  Although beautiful, Grenada had quite a toll on us, and it was a polar opposite as I walked through a beautiful snowfall in the greatest city on earth.  That was moment quickly faded when my buddy from Texas appeared from the train with an umbrella.  I explained I was from MN and there is no way he was going to embarrass me by using that thing.  There is a week in what is fast becoming too familiar to seem exciting.  However the next post will be about food in NYC.
