5.10.18. 10 Hudson Yards adds a spot of color, free to the public to contribute, at our entryway. 

129

5.9.18. I've been told that, due to her social anxiety and general grouchiness towards non-human beings, Jenny has been upgraded to receptionist at her daycare. These are the kinds of photo updates you get when your dog is in a daycare like a child. 

128

5.8.18. Sometimes when I'm walking home, I notice a building from an old TV memory. This is the theater where Joey Tribiani performs his space play with the woman he falls in love with who soon leaves for LA. I've walked by this a million times but only now realized where I knew it from. New York constantly makes worlds collide - even if they are make-believe worlds. Restaurant #24: Suprema Provision. 

127

5.7.18. A cool 6 months after we won tickets at the SNL Gringo Bingo (money for PR), M and I finally made it to watch the Seth Meyers show tape. As you can tell from the above photo, we were dazzled by the show's photoshop capabilities. Seth did a great set and also took 10min in the middle of the show to answer questions. M rightly pointed out that I should have asked for the stage manager's number, hubba hubba! Restaurant #23: Limani.

126

5.6.18. I finally made it up to the One World Trade observation deck. The best part is absolutely the elevator. You see the entire history of New York spring up around you as you ascend to the top of the building. I wish I could have ridden it up and down just to watch it over and over again! Restaurant #22: Le Gigot. 

125

5.5.18. W has moved to NYC!! We went out for spicy margs and mexican food, facetimed S to congratulate him on his new baby, and topped the night off with drinks on the roof. 

124

5.4.18. L came to town and sold out all her paintingz at a gorgeous art show on Canal Street! Hard to believe it was 13 years ago that we lived in a top floor Cambridge apartment with no washing machine, a corgi, and all her art. Afterwards, K and I tried out the Nolita Tacombe... it was just as perfect, minus the fact that no one knew us there.

123

5.3.18. In an effort to erase a frustrating series of events, M and I did a walking Willage pub crawl. We phoned R to give her FOMO, worked out all of the business world's problems, and solved all of our own. 

122

5.2.18. A and T invited me to a charity event at the Tribeca Rooftop to support an UES school. The finger foods were awesome, I made a new friend, and I got this gorgeous view of One World Trade.

121

5.1.18. Our team wished C a raucous goodbye at Tortilla Flats, a place that is rapidly becoming the best place in the world for a goodbye party, a round of bingo, a baby shower, or all of the above.

120

4.30.18. Jack Rabbit and Pop Pop so enjoy every moment they have together. It is so sweet to watch their friendship, love of science and engineering adventures, and inside jokes grow.

119

4.29.18. I met little Sadie! She is a carbon lady copy of her pops. She's calm, sweet, and loved so much. 

118

4.28.18. K and I peeled up north to hike Sam's Point Preserve. It's a plateau with scraggly vegetation, sneaky views, and a waterfall. Afterwards, we brewery hopped from the Hudson Valley Brewery (weird fruity but yummy beer mixtures) and then Newburgh Brewery. Newburgh reminded me of Charlottesville - an old loft brick building, converted from a manufacturing plant of some sort, full of live music and friendly people. 

117

4.27.18. Pure, unadulterated joy! Let's hope she doesn't stick her tongue out...

116

4.26.18. This little face, always looking for fun!

115

4.25.18. Through rain or shine, the walk must go on. I've loved my walk up and down the High Line every morning and evening. It always has a slice of something new to see, another view of my city from above, another taste of green in a concrete Grand Canyon.

114

4.24.18. I'm so incredibly proud of my family. Well done, ML!

113

4.23.18. One of my bucket list items was to find a restaurant where I could become a Regular. I had wanted the restaurant to be someplace killer like Raoul's, but it turns out tacos, guac, and the best corn you'll ever eat have a far greater appeal on the reg than steak frites. Plus there's outdoor seating where Jenny can sit on the curb and unnecessarily aggress other dogs. 

112

4.22.18. It's a far cry from Slap Cup, but I have to say our 30s are pretty great. 

111

4.21.18. We went on a hike (walk) along the river, found nuts that looked like Yoda had a baby with a throwing star, and talked about business ideas like the Executive Donut. 

110

4.20.18. At the last minute, we headed north to the Hudson Valley. The house (mansion) had several quirks to it... included the fact that it was definitely haunted, the owners had left white crystals all over the place, there was a meditation room, half the furniture was of the Bean Bag genus, and it had been abandoned for decades after Eleanor Roosevelt used it to teach kids stuff (I didn't read the Wikipedia that well). 

109

4.19.18. Goosey's hair hits pigtail length. It was a banner moment for the family.  

108

4.18.18. J doing his best impression of a strong man for his circus show. It closely resembles the same look I make when I remember Milk closes at 11pm. I had dinner with old Clarisonic friends D and H at Restaurant #21: Zagara. 

107

4.17.18. Jenny and Bea hit the town on the Upper East Side. Bea is curiously terrified of 72nd street, and Jenny only poops on ledges. It's a good time. 

106

4.16.18. I met Z's bubba! We were both super embarrassed to see we were wearing the same leather jacket.
