Last weekend, Anna and I met up with a friend of mine who I met a couple years ago at the HighEdWebDev Conference. They had tickets to see a show called Fuerzabruta so we tried to get down to the theater on Friday evening to get cheaper rush tickets.

Sadly, my sense of direction was confused and after we got off the subway I led Anna east when we were supposed be headed west (or the other way around). She finally convinced me (I admit I can be stubborn) and we made it just in time to see two girls do a fist pump. They had purchased the last tickets (cue clench-fisted slow-motion “Noooooooooooo”).

Hello all,

The past month flew by. I can’t believe my Spring Break, Easter and April 1 have come and gone already. It all seems to have come and gone so fast. I know that Drew has written about some of our outings, but I will give you a little update on what’s been happening in my life.

We went to a Knicks game last Sunday and it was one of the worst sports experiences of my life.

The loudest cheers of the night came from parents yelling for their scantily-clad, 12-year-old daughters dancing to “Low” during timeouts (Apple-bottom jeans and the boots with the fur!).

Let’s get the party started again.

Last night we made our way to a “Hipster Beach Party” on the Upper-East Side to bust a moby (funny, I didn’t even know what a hipster was until we moved here).

It’s been a quiet few weeks. We haven’t really done any major outings and I’ve regained my title as weekend sleep champ, waking up only once before noon during our last three-day weekend (and they’re impressed by squirrels?).

Anna and I went to the movie “Definitely, Maybe” (trailer), and it was surprisingly tolerable, dare I say enjoyable. I like Ryan Reynolds so that helped. The movie was also set in NYC so it was cool to see a lot of familiar places (hey, we’ve been there!). But, is it a must see? Definitely, maybe (sorry, not really).

And now for part two. I only hope that this blog doesn’t fall in line with most every sequel ever made (do you get the idea?) No? How about now?

It has now been two weekends since our last guests, my good friends, Dan and Alan, came to visit. They came over Martin Luther King Jr. Weekend. It was only a few days trip, but we packed a lot of stuff into the very short time. So get ready for a long post.

The previous two weekends before the last we have been hosts to some awesome guests. They kept us busy and helped us explore our new “hometown”, which we had been neglecting somewhat in the past month.

New York City offers some spectacular city views. So, if you have to choose which Manhattan peak to summit, where should you go? Should you shoot up to the Top of the Rock or swing by Kong’s hangout? I offer our experience.

Hello! So I am back after my long hiatus. How many times can I use the grad school excuse before it doesn’t work anymore? Hopefully, I won’t need it in the future as one of my new year’s resolutions is to blog more often. (But really, how many times COULD I use the excuse??)

(more…)

Anna is sick with the stomach flu (no I didn’t poison her…well, hopefully not) so I am taking it upon myself to kick off a new year of fun-loving posts.

Why is Anna sick? I’m hoping it doesn’t have anything to do with the meal I made for her (one of our resolutions is to take turns cooking every other night). I seem to have survived (nice work small intestine).
