I spent the past week in New York City, experiencing The Big Apple as a visitor for the first time in a decade. It was so much fun. My return trips as a guest star in our New York office are my new favorite bonus of living on the West Coast. However, it is unseasonably cold in New York right now, so my fingers were frozen and I was unable to update the blog. Okay, poor excuse. Honestly, I was just having too much fun … and Le Parker Meridien doesn’t have internet on the 10th floor. It does, however, have the best brunch spot in the city.

While I was there, I filed my weekly action sports blog, practiced my Italian and went ice skating with Vampires. That last one will just have to remain a mystery.
