Gill was out of the house early for a meeting in Short Hills. Curious name. Not to be confused with Tall Plains. Or Wide Narrows. I walked over to 8th Avenue with Paul and Heather so they could catch a cab to LaGuardia. Today is the first day of the United Nation’s General Assembly, so […]
I took Mordecai over to Leroy’s dog run in the morning while Gill, Paul and Heather went to pick up the rest of the perfect pairs of shoes. I think Paul was invited in case they needed an extra pair of hands. There are a lot of perfect pairs of shoes in this city. We […]
Paul and I took Mordecai over to Union Square. Milo the bulldog decided Paul was his best friend ever, so he took a seat on the bench and they read the New York Times together. Mordecai was less enamoured with world affairs, and remained focused exclusively on the ball. While we hung out with our […]
Gill took Mordecai out for a run, and I went down to the corner to get a latte from Starbucks. When I got back to the apartment, I met Bob who lives downstairs. Bob is a big fan of Toronto and Montreal, so we talked awhile about his favourite spots. When he recounted what is […]
Sometime overnight, the awning on the hair salon beside us came crashing down. First thing in the morning, the debris had been cleaned up and the awning taken off the sidewalk. By mid-morning, 4 guys had taken delivery of some 2×4’s and constructed a platform that looked like everyone had thrown their hockey sticks into […]
Today’s adventure started with work, and ended the same way. Mama told me there’d be days like this. I took Mordecai for a walk in the morning, then headed over to Starbucks (Dave has ruined me with grande lattes) before settling in to a long day in front the computer. Took a break around 4 […]
At lunch time, I went looking for a pet store on West 23rd that sells Mordecai’s preferred brand of food. He’s very discerning. I, on the other hand, am less so. While I haven’t actually eaten there yet, I’m pretty sure I’ve found my favorite New York restaurant. Just one look at that storefront – […]
I got up just after 6 am, a reasonable hour for a work day. Gill was up a couple of unreasonable hours earlier to catch a flight to Chicago. Took the pup over to Union Square for a run, and we got back home just as the rain started. I’ll be working remotely from here […]
We got up reasonably early and made the trip to Starbucks for a latte. Had time for a quick breakfast before walking Dave and Cindy over to 8th Avenue to hail a cab for the airport. We bade them farewell, and I promptly returned to bed for a few hours. In the afternoon, Gill took […]
One of the best things about having a doctor for a friend is his ability to quickly and effectively deal with a medical emergency. When we finally crawled out of bed around 10:30, Dave had already identified the closest Starbucks with his iPhone app, so we took Mordecai over and self-medicated. Gill and Cindy continued […]
