My site looks like hell right now. Back in the day when I started blogging, wordpress was not around - or at least, not to my knowledge. I started out on blogger, then moved my content to a new site (this one) using another blogging software that I ultimately ended up hating. Now I’m in the process of rebuilding it using wordpress. And so, since I don’t know how to program and can’t seem to find a plugin that will do it for me, I have to cut, paste and publish, over and over again. Sigh.

My goal for this site originally was to post about my travels as I was going to be a full time world traveler - having a lifestyle unlike the one that Tim Ferriss has according to the 4-hour work week. So far, that hasn’t worked out as planned. But I am working on a new plan, to be revealed.

The Master Plan

Friday, March 27th, 2009

I’m working on my master plan right now. I can’t get into too many details about it - mostly because they’re still fuzzy to me. But let me tell you, things will be quite different in just one year. I know it. But you’ll have to wait and see what I have up my sleeve. It will be revealed when the time is right.

Post Election Breakfast in Midtown

I’ve lived in New York City for years. When I moved here, I learned the rules very quickly: don’t engage with strangers, don’t look anyone in the eye, and keep your head down and your feet moving.

But an amazing thing happened this week. After the election, people walked around smiling, head up, and looking each other in the eye. In midtown near where I work, I could see it whenever I walked outside. It was a silent communication between strangers – a sudden bonding or understanding that we’re all connected with these same emotions of appreciation, relief and hope for the future. And it felt good to walk around, smile, and see people smiling back at you.
