I started this post on Sunday night.. and continued it on Tuesday. The past 48 hours have been absolutely crazy. It is now Sunday night and I am exhausted. The alarm is going to go off at 6am tomorrow and I am going to want to turn it right off and go back to the…

What a week…
Ok I have a few blog posts in the making. All dealing with the earthquake, the hurricane and also a great night at Dave Matthews. This week has been crazy and my news addiction has truly spiraled out of control. We are totally fine and the reporting and information available here has been fantastic. Blog…
Goodbye weekend
I love weekends! Especially when they are super productive! After waking up at 5.30am on Saturday morning (this is becoming increasingly more common and also frustrating!) we did a big bedroom cleanup. While we live quite simply and uncluttered, I wanted to do a big bedroom clean deep clean. Cleaning the mattress protector, doing a…
INXS at the Beacon
The INXS concert was everything and more. This was the best I have ever seen them play with JD Fortune. He was on fire! The show was sharp, sound was perfect and even better… it was LOUD. You know it is good if you get in a cab after the show and you cannot hear…

In history’s page, let every stage…

We are so used to the big band anthem that is played everywhere, but this was just beautiful. I think it sounds amazing just as is without the…
Change of Scenery
Before this week, I had never spent a normal workday out of the Financial District. I am doing a week long training course this week which means I am commuting to Midtown. The excitement of this is unparalleled. Lunchtime shopping! Different subway stations! Different surrounds. No Century 21 tourist rampages. Hurrah! At lunchtime I sat…
Clove Road School
After the party, we stopped by an old schoolhouse that sits on a quiet road in Castleton-on-Hudson. We knew nothing about it – there are no signs or anything explaining what is there. We had no idea whether it was a schoolhouse or old church hall – as there was also an old cemetery there…
Congratulations Rebecca!
