Happy St. Paddy's!

We are having fun in NYC. I went to see part of the St. Patrick's Day parade today, but everyone else went shoe shopping. Figures. It seemed to mostly consist of soldiers and marching bands again, so pretty much the same as the New Haven one, I guess. Also got to see the Brain exhibit at the Natural History Museum, which was so much fun! Mom and dad went through it twice. They had a good bit about the anterior cingulate - my favorite brain region! Like seeing an old friend :)

Now everyone else has gone to a show and I have hunkered down to get some work done. We will see how that goes.

Anyway, happy St Patrick's. Here is a very Irish video (warning: also includes very Irish bad language!)

The Badgers in New York

Hurray!!
We had a good trip to Hartford, and our Limo was waiting for us as we went looking for our luggage. Just like in the movies, he was standing there with a sign that said "Ferrey". The hotel in New haven was great, I was the highest, as I slept in the loft, there was another bedroom, for T&G, and a kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. The first night we ordered in pizza, all too tired to face going out. Sunday we had some breakfast, picked up the car, and spend half an hour trying to find Anne's, which should have been a 7 minute trip. Google maps are good, but there was a detour and so that made us go around in circles. But we eventually found Anne, and had a tour of her new place. After visiting a bit, we walked downtown and saw the St Patricks day parade. As Anne says the americans seem to think Ireland and Scotland are the same country, lots of scottish pipe bands.

After the parade we walked around, found a bookstore and shopped. Then after coffee, we found Anne's friends Helena and Rebecca. Rebecca had to leave but Helena joined us for the rest of day and for supper. We went out for a yummy Indian meal. On Monday we drove to Mystic a seaport town, does anyone remember Mystic pizza (the movie)? Then yesterday hopped on the train to come to New York. Anne was able to come with us, which is great and we are planning on going to the Met today. Yesterday we walked around Central Park, our hotel is only a block from there, and ate at a great Mexican food place that Anne pointed us to.

Yesterday was beautiful

today I can hear the wind howling, but the sun is out and the sky is blue, so I am going to pretend it is still beautiful.

If you read the comments on the previous post, you know that I have talked T&G into coming with me to New York and Connecticut, not that it took much talking, they were very receptive. Anyone else want to come along? Week of March 14. It is good to have something to look forward to.
I saw the other Sivaks last week, and Uncle George had to go in for a but of minor surgery. His lower eyelashes are curling in and poking him in the eye. Other than that both are well, and have planned a trip to Phoenix at the end of March, into April.

Another person quit at work, so I guess that means more turmoil there, that is the 3rd in a month. I don't think it will affect me too much, might mean more work. I just generally do what ever they tell me and try not to let it get to me.

I had breakfast with Allison yesterday, and she showed me the stuff she has picked out for the kitchen and storeroom, both great choices, it will look so good in her house. Maybe this will be the year I do some renos here, or maybe not.
