I’ve been busy … really, I have.  Alright, really, I am just a slacker.  I do have a ton of stuff to post … but alas, I don’t have my camera or memory card with me.  I was gonna write about the Mermaid Day parade I went to last weekend … and then about the [...]

Now this is the way to start a summer day in NYC … a fluffy sugar doughnut and an iced coffee from the doughnut cart man. Thanks to my new best doughnut cart man at Madison and 26th … I got my day off to a perfect start … I got the last sugar [...]

It’s another long, quiet day here at work … and what is getting me through it? Two words … Wo Hops. Mmmmmmmm. We drove into work today since it was raining this morning and I had a cupcake delivery for work, so I figured it would be the perfect day to head [...]

Early Start

Madison Square Park – 8:01 AM

Yup … that clock says 8:01 AM.  Damn early to get started on a work day when most people get in at 10:00 AM.  Needless to say I will be leaving a bit earlier today since I was in so early this morning.  The best part was … the 8:30 [...]
