M and I recently had the pleasure of taking a very quick trip to New York City. We celebrated the 9th anniversary of our first date by enjoying a long walk through Manhattan, eating real pizza, splurging on ice cream sundaes from Serendipity 3 and generally just loving every second we got to spend together.
Other things that happened:
* We tried two new restaurants — Five Napkin Burger and Polpette — both of which were excellent.
* According to his Fitbit, M walked more than 70,000 steps. Because he’s insane.
* I walked about a third of that and still managed to develop huge, squishy, debilitating blisters on both of my feet. The last two days of the trip were spent hobbling, which made me feel old. Very old.
* We had the opportunity to see movies in the morning and late at night, neither of which we can do in New Hampshire.
* The company of friends was thoroughly enjoyed.
* A rousing game of Cards Against Humanity ensued, one that will be forever remembered for its hilarious use of tentacle porn and corn starch.
* M turned me around on a hot button political issue.
* A fictional president fired his wife.
* I finally learned who Castle’s father was.
* We went on a shopping spree at The Strand. Here’s what I’ll be reading in the months and years to come:
