my random ramblingsan infrequent (and these days, mostly Mira related…) blog

flew into New York late Sunday night for a 2 day training session. up late putting the finishing touches on a proposal that had been consuming my life the last week and a half. cool room on the top floor with a great view of the Empire State Building.

busy day, slammed with work, including a 7 am call. early evening, back to Maggiano’s for Thanksgiving dinner. missed it last year, such a great spot for a solid meal, always with lots of leftovers. Лена went out late for some Black Friday shopping while i slept.

Monday night date night, just the two of us. quick bite at the restaurant in the theater before the new Hunger Games movie. movie was ok, but overly predictable.

walked down Adams for a sushi dinner dinner at a restaurant we noticed a few months back. Friday night and the place was almost empty – can’t imagine it will be open much longer. enjoyed it, but nothing remarkable. cut through the Palmer House on the way back and snapped some pics of Mira with a couple of their Christmas trees.

home late, no time for POW! grabbed dinner across Wabash, really cold out already.

dinner back at Fogo, so Лена can eat their tres leches cake. on the way out met little Gio, was fun to watch the 2 of them play. Mira’s favorite word these days is “no”.

mailed 4 boxes to Лена’s family. quick lunch before dropping Лена off for an afternoon class. day spent at home with Mira.

back from Boston, and another busy day working from home. quick lunch down the street at Gage – think we’re the only ones writing on the tables here. note to self: always carry crayons. 🙂

short walk up Wabash to stand out in the cold and catch Nik Wallenda’s tightrope walk. unfortunately had to grab a taxi to the airport before he started, but was a great atmosphere out on the street. if i would of bought a place in Marina City as originally planned, could of watched him make both crossings while standing a few feet away on my balcony…
