The Final Countdown
Just a little snapshot of the Hudson that I took on a walk yesterday. Yes, I’ll be swimming in it on Sunday. This weekend was primarily devoted to some serious tri training, since my race is less than a week away (ack!). I stayed in on Friday night and cooked myself a lovely dinner of

R.E.M. @ MSG
I was in the nosebleed seats, but the sound was great. Here's Brooklyn Vegan's take on the night, including the awesome setlist. One of my personal faves was the "acoustic" version of Let Me In.

Setting the Mood
Back from the wilds of Maine (more on that later), but just wanted to note how something as simple as hearing a good song on your iPod on the way to work can put a positive spin on your day. Blondie got my toes tapping and helped to wake me up this morning — first

The Promise
I had the opportunity to eat at Peasant Saturday night — the wine bar downstairs. Not only did I have good company, interesting conversation, and my favorite dish there (the octopus — delicious), but I thoroughly enjoyed the music, despite it being a tad too loud for my taste. The Police, Hall & Oates, David

Weekend Wrapup
I’m less than a week away from my triathlon, and I actually feel ready, for the most part. Was able to sneak in some good training this weekend, including a brick — a bike/run back to back — which wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be. Rob is back from London for a

Weekend Wrapup
Started off the weekend with a farewell party for Teddi, who’s moving off to Seattle for 6 months. As much as we all want Teddi to be happy, we selfishly want her to hate Seattle so that she’ll come back to NYC. I’m going to put her in touch with Geek and his family, who

Sing, Sing a Song
One of the things I love about the city is the number of people you can pass in any given day who are singing out loud as they go about their day. Really — you should try counting one day. I think the number has gone up since the advent of the iPod, but I’m
