My apologies for letting a week slip by without an update. Here's a quick week in review:
Sunday -- Work sent me back to Horsham for a series of client meetings. The travel agent had called earlier in the week bragging about how he had gotten me into this great hotel. The fact that we were talking about Horsham made me skeptical. It turned out to be one of those old-timey, grand, genteel, tacky-piano establishments. As I curled up on the wrought-iron bed, watching the elderly fruit expire on the "welcome plate" I dreamed of the high speed Internet, 24-hour gym, and vending machines of my normal Holiday Inn down the road. I don't mean to be a party pooper, but hotels with "inn" in the title are not my style.
Monday -- Meeeeeeetings.
Tuesday -- The meetings became more and more painful as I considered the amount of work piling up at the office. Lily, my Canadian co-worker, and I decided that we needed a break. We ditched our laptops, went for a run, and then found the only good restaurant in town. The night turned out to be some high quality co-worker bonding -- I wish she worked out of the New York office.
Wednesday -- A few more meetings and then a journey north.
Thursday -- Back to the old routine. When I walk in the door, my office mate announces, "I quit." NOOO!!! Frankly, I don't blame her. She's under-paid, under-appreciated, and over-worked. I'm going to miss her terribly.
Friday -- Several weeks ago a very close friend found a lump in her breast. Friday was her biopsy. It was a weird day. We're way too young and healthy to even consider the c-word. The procedure was simple and quick. Now, we just wait.
Saturday -- Hoboken celebrates St. Patrick's day a few weeks early. It's this ridiculous tradition where people start drinking before breakfast. We party-hopped between some of Sarah's work friends and some of mine. We met a series of interesting people -- the Todd brothers, the lying Schlumberger ambassador, the bad breakfast sandwich chef, and the NJ-ite with Texas tattooed on his leg. A green bagel, a few green beers, good friends and good times.
Sunday -- Back to Brooklyn for some chores, a little work, and a lot of recovery.
So, there you go. You're all caught up. Happy Monday! Kisses -Les

Hi Leslie,
My daughter, Katy, is moving up your way. She starts work on March 24th at Artist Arena, a musicians artist management company and she will be working on fan web sites. She is moving into the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn near Prospect Park. She has a dozen or so friends from Belmont already living in NY and one of them snagged the 2 BR apartment for them. Like you, she's leaving her car with us to sell, giving away or selling all of her stuff and coming up with an air mattress and two suitcases leaving boxes with us to ship up as needed. Her email is skhatley@gmail.com
Hope all is well with you. No big wins or big news at TRG.

That's great news! We'll only be a subway stop or so away from each other. My roommate and I spend alot of time in Park Slope -- it has the best grocery stores, etc in the area. I'll drop her a line soon to introduce myself.
