The closest Starbucks is 2.5 miles away. Todo, I don't think we're in Seattle anymore. I am in Brooklyn where I will be for the next two weeks on a temporary sublet.
I spent my first day catching up on email and setting appointments for this week. I met Julie (not to be confused with the Julie in the pic below...They have Julie's here like we have Sara's in Seattle) who is subletting her room to me while she is on a trip to the West Coast. She has a solidly good roommate who is being very hospitable.
The afternoon was mostly taken up by relaxing (but not sleeping) and catching up with folks back in Seattle over Facebook, texting, and email. In the evening Natalie, Sarah, and I went to the gym for a class; I would love to say I killed it but with only three hours of sleep it kicked my behind. After that we grabbed dinner around 9pm at Five Napkins Burgers (http://5napkinburger.com/) where I had their seared Ahi burger with wasabi mayonnaise...delicious, especially after that workout. Around 10pm NYST (New York Standard Time, I made that up) I had my first Skype session with Tonya and the boys. Pretty successful in that they were able to see me and the boys thought that was cool.
Yesterday I moved my stuff into the apt where I am now. I took a cab ride to get here and actually had to tell the cabi where to go. As in, he handed me a map and asked me to give him directions because he couldn't read the map and he had no ideas about where Flushing St was. Hilarious! I headed off for brunch at the Cafeteria (pics below http://www.cafeteriagroup.com/) but not until after taking the subway in the wrong direction. I was a little turned around and couldn't figure out which way was east and which was west. Feels odd to not know those types of things.
Today I am off to walk Reilly, go shopping, and do a run in Central Park with friends George and Noel.
Cheers from Brooklyn!
