I used to go to NYC every January for a work conference - usually the coldest and nastiest week of the year. Different weekend but a cold, snowy and windy weekend - not Minnesota but an ugly NYC style weekend. Still got some wandering in and took in many of the other things only NYC can offer.
The cold continues - and not much snow. A new wave of protesters have arrived just up the street. Made a bigger parking mess on a Saturday than any other event at Mac ever has. And always enjoy wandering in a familiar direction and turn on a different corner and find something new. Should be a very, very interesting year.
Celebrating Michael hitting the big 70. One of the first people I met when I moved to Saint Paul in 1982. And evening of lots of great stories and memories.
Finishing up this trip with the coolest and wettest days of the three weeks. Much worse everywhere else but general a long stretch of grey and cool days. Still good to get Naples a couple times and have some different scenery.
Usually head out in one of three directions. Wandered a bit in the fourth - a few great street murals that definitely spruced it all up. No doubt more to discover on another trip.
Headed over to Ed's to hang out and take in the Vikings game - another ugly loss. Got a couple great days on the west side. And some another unusual bird hanging out next to the Lanai.
Not hot but certainly cold like the north. Usually the days start out either side of 50 and then at the low end get almost 60F. Have had a couple 80s - and lots of sun either way.
Another cold wave seems to be settling in once again, so a good time to get out and get off to less of that. Off to Florida - basing in Fort Lauderdale. Will see where else I wander.
The entry to the building....
The numbers jumped up and down but in the end we had 6 of us that gathered once again for the "go home when you are tired" NYE gathering. Another fun night - and the weather was definitely agreeable.
