> Wake up early, even tho its 2:20am and I have to cycle through my favorite Babble boards at least one more time.
Did that too much, way too much.
> Check to see if my company's web-based CMS is up so I can create the email that is supposed to go out today at 6pm.Yep. 5am, the Content Management System was up and I got the email out. Managed to stay awake until 7:30am.
> Get to Meeting on time, even tho the L train isn't running due to construction.Yeah, right, lol. I had five different alarms set, and one finally woke me at 11:45.
> Meet my dear friends and their two precocious boys in the middle of Grand Central Station, and take them on a tour of Lower Manhattan.Tho it brings up horrid visions of Peter Cetera leading Chicago, it was another rainy day in New York City. Didn't see much outdoors, but we hopped around so much that they now know how to take advantage of the subways and buses like pros. Had a very nice walk through the Village, then down Canal to Chinatown and Little Italy. Canal was tough, tho, because if you knew where to look you could see the hole in the sky -- plus the construction cranes were visible and the poor Deutsche Bank building. Too much lingering grief there, but my friends didn't need to know about that. Later on wound up at Lombardi's for some pizza and then Veniero's for some Italian desserts ... I got way too many cannoli to take home with me.
(Lombardi's is the "1st" pizzeria in the US ... 1905. Only one left in NYC with a coal-fired pizza oven. If you like thin crust, this is the best you can get. Veniero's is 11 years older -- 1894 -- and is the most awesome Italian bakery around.)
> Play with Leyna, play some guitar, Babble, then sleep.Got back too late for guitar. Leyna wouldn't NOT have me play with her. Nope, no shower before bed. I need it more in the morning. Sleep? Yeah, guess I should. Gotta work tomorrow.
