Day 60: NYC

What a day. Slept in a bit. Grabbed some breakfast and some coffee from Dean and Deluca. We walked for a while. I was on a conference call for an hour and a half while Holly just sat, staring at her coffee.

Got a hold of Zach and Kat for lunch. Had good sushi. My first experience with sashami. Mmm.

Visited the World Trade Center site. Wow. Heavy.

Went to the theatre district to get tix for RENT. The deal is that if you arrive 2 hours before show time, they do a lottery for the 1st 2 rows...at $20 a ticket! We won the lottery and sat 2nd row.

In between getting the tix and seeing the show, we had amazing pizza. Mmm.

After an incredible show (What a play!), we walked outside and it was snowing. Soft flakes on our faces.

We ran to get our luggage out of baggage check at the hotel, got our car out of the parking garage. And got on the freeway eventually. Except it wasn't a freeway, it was a tollway...as to be expected in New Jersey!

Heading south now to crash at a Super 8 Motel for a few days to get some work done, rest, and re-center. This last part of the trip has certainly been fun, but I am tired. Tired. And have been fighting off a cold. Both of us. And feeling a little behind. Actually alot behind. And I need some time for catch-up and recharge. Thanks for the prayers.

Oh yah, tomorrow marks 2 months since we left. Wow.

...ummm...

I was just going to thank you for the realtionship you both have built with my wife and I in the last month. And to tell you to enjoy a couple of days to yourself, and to tease you about staying in these crappy Super 8's.

But now I just think you guys are being selfish.
