A New Yorker in Exile

A self exiled New Yorker left to explore the world on his own... okay left to explore the world with some help from a few friends... but they aren't New Yorkers. My latest pursuits: home brewing, discrete mathematics, correspondence chess, wine tasting, house cleaning, dog walking, writing more (hence why I'm updating this blog again) and the usual hey what can the world teach me today.

For A Split Second

Do you ever wonder if you could click your heels three times and say, "no place like home, no place like home" and wahla there you are? Well I have and I know from experience that it doesn't work. Fortunately today I had a good excuse to go the Financial District, and no not the one in Manhattan. However it did for a split second, make me feel as if I was in New York, until I came to from dreamland and realized that the streets would be more crowded, there would be more horn honking, sirens, and other city-like noises. When I was done with my meeting, I purchased a hot pastrmi on rye at the one of many deli-like restaurants in the neighborhood and stopped at Peet's for a cappuccino to wash it down. And if you are wondering what I thought about the sandwhich well lets just say, as the expression goes, it's not like mom used to make.
