New York, New York

The weekend came and went with little ado. The Ps had an overnight guest for part of the weekend. He was an HM in for a day of interviewing. He was a rather nice gentleman and brought plenty of skills to the position.

After dropping the candidate off at Long Island Mc Arthur Airport, I had the rest of Sunday off. I worked 6 days last week in order to bank a day for a long weekend at home in a few weeks. It was a much needed and deserved day off. I drove up the north coast of Long Island to land's end on the North Fork, a town called Orient. The geography and wildlife is like a very flat Wisconsin.

We traveled into NYC yesterday. One reason was to let me see the city apartment. It gives me a better understanding of what is out there and what needs to be done to keep that property up to standards.

It was interesting being back in a city again. It has been 6 weeks since I was with any population size of note. It took awhile to dampen all the sensory input. I spend a couple of hours wandering down 5th Avenue over to Times Square and back up 6th Avenue to Central Park. I seem to take that same walk every time I am in NYC. Unfortunately, the trip only served to remind me how much there really is to do downtown, uptown, etc.
