red bowl

A couple of days before Christmas, I met up with
my friend Conrad (aka Ming the Merciless,
former NYC blogger who now lives up in Maine
where he has learned to live at a much
saner pace).  It was great to catch up with him
while strolling around Dumbo and
Brooklyn Heights (where we enjoyed a yummy bowl
of café (and more) at Le Pain Quotidien.

bloggers' lunch

Got together yesterday with Chuck Pefley,

who's here from Seattle, and 6 other NYC

bloggers whom I'd never met before.

Having visited their blogs (some anyway),

was not surprised to find that they're all

friendly, all interesting.  Thanks for inviting

me, Ming!  The blogisphere is great, but face-

to-face over food is even better.
