A Crisp Partly Cloudy Morning in Darien

A typical Sunday with XBOX
Just  got back from my morning constitutional with Cody, though I had to drag him up the hill,  either because he's getting old or just not a morning dog.  The kids are off to school; Tyler's found out his train was cancelled when he arrived at the station but fortunately one of the mom's was there to take him to Fairfield.  Marisa was going to walk to the bus with me, but because it was cold, she opted for a ride.  It does feel surprising cold outside though it's 31 degrees.  Marisa gets home early today because of conferences, or something like that.  Boy, do teachers have it made! No doubt they are the reason why we are in such a hole financially.

Not much on the agenda this morning, other than trip to Costco, perhaps working on the rowing machine and taking another walk, maybe down by the ocean.  Beth and Rami had a great time in NY...they went to the Guggenheim and because Rami now works for Guggenheim Partners, they get in free...an interesting perk.  They did lots of walking, as it was a glorious day in NYC, and went to their favorite sushi restaurant, a Noodle Shop in Chinatown, and to Etaly, Lidia and Mario Batali's new shopping/restaurant complex.

I want to work on a photo album this week, to send to my good friend in Turkey, Ates, and start my travel book on our trip to Turkey, fall, 2009.  It's about time to do it.

We just got back from Costco, needing nothing except some groceries so I spent over 200.00 on non essential, never expecting to buy things, the trap of a good deal at Costco.  Avoid that store at all costs.
