New York City Love

Wishing you a Happy New Year. 2007 brought big changes, personally, like a new country. If you'd told me last NYE that 2007 would have me changing careers, countries, and living with a boyfriend, well, it would have been a lot to take in.

A new year is no joke - anything can take place. 2007 took out a generation of my family with the passing of grandma, Sylvia Alden. It brought news that one of my closest friends will shortly be the mother of Manny Jr, what! A fact I still haven't quite accepted is that I no longer live in New York City - urban love of my life. Say it ain't so, yo. Next visit is looking like July/August, hope you can wait papi (I'm talking to NYC here. The city has a fresh-from-the-barbershop look, doo-rag with the oversized-Yankees-cap-to-the-side, and shiny kicks. The city I heart looks like a straphanging NY male :) KnowI'msayin?)

Here is a recap of Halloween, NYC Marathon, Crown Point Festival, 205 Club record release, and just good times in the city of how-much-work-and-play-can-you-jam-pack-into-one-week.

ladies brunch means a lot to me

One reason NYC is great? You can't get married by proxy. In Montana two people can get married without ever entering the state. Two people stand in for you, sign for you, and you are married to somebody you never said "I do" to. Look out - you might be married and not even know. http://www.marriagebyproxy.com/
NYC is great because it's not exactly American but it makes the country go.
