It's raining outside

Well, maybe it's actually drizzling, not really raining. But, it was definitely raining last night, so I'm reordering time a bit in order to keep the title to the blog post. So there! Take that Einstein. This is what relativity is useful for. :)

My travel adventures continue and now I'm in Arden with P and K (and kids). I'm working in Hartford this week, so I flew in a few days early and P picked me up at the airport to spend the weekend with them out here. Some of K's family are also here (aunt, uncle and their kids) and we went to have drinks with other members of K's family, so it is quite the H weekend. (Lots of initials, I know. But for those of you who are cool (ie also related to P and K), there's no need to explain. For those who aren't cool, well...too bad...)

We're heading back to Hartford tomorrow. It has been very nice to spend time with the kids and I wish I could hang out with them for a few more days. I'm glad we're spending the holidays with them. It's been far too long since I've played at being "Auntie Doctor," as they call me.

In an airport

It seems I spend a fair amount of life either in airports or on planes. This weekend has not been out of the ordinary in that regard. I'm currently sitting in the Delta SkyClub at LaGuardia. My flight to Atlanta was delayed due to weather (in Atlanta), so I get to sit here for another hour (or more) before boarding. I'm glad that D and I spend the money on the board room/club lounges. It makes flying far more relaxing to be able to sit someplace quiet, have a drink (alcoholic or non), use free wifi and not have to worry about packing up your stuff every time you need to go to the bathroom.

I went to Veniero's yesterday and got cannoli to bring home. The shell might be a little soft by the time they get there, but they'll still be tasty! :)

New York. New York

I'm in NY for the weekend visiting my aunt and sister. It's definitely nice to see them, and fun to have so many restaurant options, but it doesn't really feel like home. I miss it on some nostalgic level, but not really on a real emotional level. I feel more attached to Colorado than to NY. But then I've spent a far larger portion of my adult life in CO, than NY.
