I think I wrote, or certainly have been thinking we’ve been coming to Brooklyn for 10 or 11 years. And my oh my, how things have changed. Back then, The Wythe was either the only, or one of the very few upscale hotels in Williamsburg, Broooklyn. Now? My oh MY!! Williamsburg is filled with em.Continue reading “My oh my?”

For many years, I regularly posted three gratitudes on my Facebook page-not on a schedule, but as the spirit moved me. For some reason, I’ve fallen away from that practice and yet I have so much gratitude in my ❤️. So… 1. My heart ❤️ is so appreciative to have this opportunity to explore ourContinue reading “Gratitude”

We were just talking today about today being the end of our fourth week and feeling like we are just getting started (and I guess we are). We’ve both always experienced this pull of home when we near the end of three weeks. We’ve both (in lives before we were together and since) made aContinue reading “Four Weeks . . .”

One of my goals for this time in Brooklyn was to build new habits. Frankly, my habits while at home in the Bay Area had become very tired and lazy. I have an interesting relationship with lazy. One of my memories when I was about 10 was overhearing a conversation between my Mom and myContinue reading “Building New Habits”

I said to Glen the other day…Have we been here two weeks now? Nope. We’ve been here three.

All y’all want to know about our first experience with a hurricane, don’t you?!? It’s ruff on Dug.

So how did we end up in Bed/Stuy? Well…there’s a story. Since Glen and I had been talking about this trip for years, I’d off and on been checking the usual apps for Brooklyn rentals. I’d also done some research on the different neighborhoods, but not much. As we got closer to thinking it wasContinue reading “There’s always a story…”

One of the great wonders of a place like NYC are the incredibly limitless supply of food options. I’ve learned to use the wealth of options through Eater. Virtually infinite. AND for someone that loves food, well . . . I met with a couple of friends / clients (Jim and Matthew of GGI) yesterdayContinue reading “Black Beans on a Breakfast Taco. Really?!?”

JDT was able to get us tickets to Shakespeare in The Park last night. And, by the way, if you get a chance you must go! It is a summer night experience under the moon and stars in the middle of Central Park. A truly NYC experience. We decided to be expansive in our experienceContinue reading “My How Times Have Changed”
