We got the Mini packed up and hit the road around 9 pm on Friday. Shoehorned Mordecai into the back, squeezed Gill and a guitar into the passenger seat, and hit the road. We circled the Lincoln Tunnel about three times (just to make sure we had it completely surrounded), then found the actual entrance […]
Gill took Mordecai out for an early run, then we both worked from the apartment for the morning. Around 12:30, we walked over to Chelsea Market looking for some lunch. Had a truly awesome meal at Giovanni Rana Pastificio & Cucina. Came back to the apartment really just wanting a nap, but bravely soldiered on to […]
Gill and I both worked from the apartment in the morning. Mordecai liked that. He appreciates having a full staff. Around 1:30, we hopped in a cab up to the Ed Sullivan Theater for a taping of the Late Show with David Letterman. On the anniversary of the release of Abbey Road (thanks for the […]
Finished up work around 4:30 and took Mordecai out for a walk. We headed west to the River Walk, our usual route to Leroy’s dog run, but this time we decided to go north along the Hudson. We walked around Chelsea Pier, checking out film sets, recording studios, and even a driving range. Chelsea Pier […]
Gill got up early for a workout. I did not. Mordecai and I went out for a walk as Gill headed off to New Jersey. Spent most of the day in meetings, then my best friend and I went down to Leroy’s dog run. Not sure what the pup ate for breakfast, but he seemed […]
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 […]
