To exercise in the morning versus evening? To buy Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Elmo, or Scooby Doo toy? Blueberry or apple pie for tomorrow? Basil lime daiquiri or a lava flow? Work from home or muddle my way in? Catch up on Dexter or the Walking Dead? Order […]
Just yesterday, New York City announced that gas rationing will continue through Thanksgiving. Our subway service is more or less back to normal, but then again what is normal in New York City? Rats are a normal part of the landscape, I suppose. We barely flinch anymore at the […]
During Superstorm Sandy, us New Yorkers experienced a level of unease that was peripherally related to the storm. Our trains stopped working. And they stopped working for a while. How could that be, we would all thought. The subway system is part of our lifeline, it courses through […]
Did you know that November 14 was National Guacamole Day? Although, I had no clue that was the case, I enjoyed a good (except for the whole shellfish allergy thing – basically if I hear about shellfish I swell up, let alone eat anything that touched shellfish) Mexican cocktail lunch hour. […]

120 hours and counting. By the end of this all, it will have been 288 hours. Yes, 288 hours without power. I will have gone through 12 days of trying to move forward without any light. I will have slept in 5 different cities in trying to keep […]
Each day post Sandy, I have spent either freezing, searching for charging stations or making my way to multiple hotels across state lines. Throughout my post Sandy experience, has been the adventure of trying to get a team back to New York and trying to get the office […]
I have been without power now 96 hours. I have slept in the cold dark house at night and I have now slept in two different hotels. Moving hotels as at times there is only one room available for a night. If that’s all they got, that’s what […]
