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.

Paris

Summer time brings about ideas of escaping the regular part of your life. The part where you wake up, go to work, come home, make dinner, and repeat 4 times. So when the season changes to warm sunny weather, ideas of tropical islands, late nights drinking, and general rest and relaxation comes to mind.

A few years ago I spent a few weeks in Europe with one of those weeks in Paris. Most of my time was spent visiting many musuems, la Tour Eiffel, the conclusion of the Tour de France, and the traditional and world renowned Parisian cafes. I spent plenty of hours during that trip sitting, sipping expresso, watching parisians walk by and enjoying the beautiful city.

So when I sit and fret about all the small and big things that stress me out, I think back to those days when I sipped espresso underneath the Paris sun. And it is this memory I hope to visit again.
