It’s a snowy, cold day here in NYC. I barely made it back from a business trip to Rochester yesterday, so I’m taking advantage of the snow day and working from home this morning. Sometimes, there’s nothing better than working in your pajamas. While I’m waiting for the coffee to kick in, I thought I’d share a few posts that have caught my eye lately.
Apparently, I’m a big nerd.
Now that I no longer work in the area, it looks like some really good food has found its way to 6th Ave & 50th St.
People other than yours truly have had challenges with cohabitation, a decision not to be taken lightly in NYC, where the ridiculous real estate situation often pushes otherwise intelligent people into making unwise choices
If I ever am in a serious relationship again, I might consider getting a “taken” shirt, although I’m not sure how I feel about being viewed as chattel. Then again, let’s cross that bridge when we come to it, shall we?
Looking for something to do on Valentine’s Day? New York Magazine has not one, but two bar crawls for singles. Not quite sure what makes these so singles-specific, however. As far as I’m concerned, bar crawls are an equal-opportunity sport for singles and couples alike. Someone’s got to help you home when you’re blitzed, right? It’s very handy if your boyfriend/husband/significant other can help you out. Otherwise, you may have to rely on the kindness of strangers . . . oy.
If you have a snow day today, I just heard on NPR that the NYC parks department is setting up sledding stations in the parks in each borough. You don’t even need to own a sled — you can use theirs. Hooray!
And if it’s cold enough (below freezing), you can pick up some free hot chocolate to warm yourself up.

I think my exact words were “way nerdier than me”. So I was hinting that it was more of a relative judgment rather than absolute.
But yes, you are a huge nerd (btw, I’m writing that in the voice of “Triumph the Comic Insult Dog” when he went to the Star Wars premiere).

It should have been “way nerdier than I.” Did I mention that I’m wicked smaaahhht?

You’re absolutely right! And actually I misquoted myself anyway.
Let me guess … you’re from Bahstun.

We had over 70cm of snow where I live the other day. Sledding is amazing…but no free hot chocolate 🙁
