NYC or Bust

Hey all.  For those who don't know already, I'm in New York, New York.  After my last post, I visited Scott at his seminary in Providence.  They were gracious enough to let me dine with them.  The seminarians were very kind and genuinely interested in hearing about my trip.  I know Scott is in a good place with great company. 

On the highway to New York, I called Mom and Dad then chatted with my friend Ashley.  Getting in late on Wednesday, I had a glass of wine with Colleen and called it a night.  The next day I had the pleasure of catching up with an old friend, Jesse Wingate.  I worked with Jesse in middle school on a VT History Day project.  We also went to North Country together.  At Starbucks, we were able to catch up and talk about how life has been.  As I mentioned in an earlier post, this sort of interaction is a true testament as to why I'm on this voyage.  I was grateful to have spent those hours with Jesse and learning about him since I saw him last.

Last night, I caught up with some IC friends at a bar.  Andrew, Luke, Colleen, Rachel, Neil, etc.  We attempted to go to a show where our friend's band was playing.  The cover was twenty dollars so we moseyed to a small place for margaritas then called it a night.

Today has been the laziest day of the trip so far.  I slept in late, surfed the web, read some of my book (Vonnegut) and took a shower.  I just got back from visiting my friend Matt in Manhattan and am getting ready to eat at Colleen's.  Lasagna.  I plan on spending the whole weekend here so I should have some fun stories to post along the way.  As always, thanks for checking in.  Please feel free to pass the address to blog to whomever you desire.
