Poop size by country

Apparently poop size is highly correlated with good health and absense
of cancer. I think tonga tanked first in poop size.

Vegan expo in NYC

Pictured here is Kathy Freston who wrote a vegan diet book that I
read. She is a bit of a ditz but her advise is really good!

Happy valentine's day!

Charles took me to a way decked out restaurant for v-day. I liked all
the balloons!

Pottery class

Work sponsored a pottery class and I was able to throw two pots on a
wheel! We get them back glazed in a few weeks!

Knick vs Bobcats

Got box seats for this game tonight thanks to my company!

Five toe shoes!

This weekend during the unseasonable 62 degree weather, Charles and I bought 5 toe shoes which are good for walking and running. So far I really like them walking around the apartment!

Happy New Chair!

After the travels ended and I am on a local project, I've decided to spruce up my neglected apartment and to make it more like my favorite parts of hotel travel! First step was to replace my ratty desk chair with this more modern chair as seen in W hotels!

Goa beach

I was still not feeling great at this point, but Charles and I sat at the beach and drank some 7 Up.

Kenilworth Beach resort in Goa

Here is the lobby of our hotel in Goa, a beach town on the coast of India towards the south. There are a lot of tourists from all over here. It's nice and tropical and this feels like vacation.

Fancy dinner at Amber Fort

One night in Jaipur, Charles surprised me with a fancy dinner in a restaurant within Amber Fort, a major landmark and attraction in that town.

The place was beautiful with elegant Indian decor and this was the pic of my non-veg platter!

Hyderabad

Well, we have been in Hyderabad for a few days now and tomorrow is the wedding for Christie and Mahesh. Today we saw the pre-wedding ceremonies at Mahesh's house. We got some fun henna art on our hands which is traditional for weddings here and Mahesh's mom hosted about 50 people at her house today.

We will wear the sarees we bought tomorrow at the actual wedding. After this, we will go on to Goa for some relaxing by the beach!

I think many of us are actually getting used to India at this point. We no longer notice the complete lack of order on the roads or people peeing all along the sidewalks. However, after a week of being constantly bloated, I think Charles and I will be going to the Hard Rock Cafe in Hyderabad for some American food.

Taj Mahal!

Charles and I got a "professional photographer" to take our pic in front of the Taj Mahal. It was almost worth the $2 for that photo to get put in the most ridiculous pose ever!

In India!

Made it to India safely and with our bags. It was about two days of travel to get here, but it is cool! Have not done much today yet in Delhi but we are going to dinner tonight and to the Taj Mahal tomorrow!

Wedding in Cleveland

This weekend my friends Christie and Mahesh were married in Cleveland.

Here is a pic of us outside of the church after the ceremony. They look so happy!

Kim and the Mets Apple

They still have the apple, but no more top hat... it's just not the same!

Citi field

Here is a pic from our great seats at citi field. Next time I will try
out the club lounge that we have access. I'll be going to the
rescheduled game on sept 8th.

Water damage

The storm was not so bad, but I do have leaks from my skylight. Here
is a pic of my leaking roof.

Bracing for Irene

OK, well after multiple calls and texts from all corners of the US, I decided that some kind of preparedness had to happen on my part. I took in a Mets game on Friday and afterwards stocked up on some necessities: bottled water and Chex Mix and Kettle Korn.

Yes, it is as if I am hosting a 3rd grade slumber party, but it just might be good to be disconnected and reading a good book. Will let you know how it goes!
