The topic of today: time. Having lost an hour today due to daylight savings adjustment, reinforced my perception on how quickly time has passed, especially the short month of February. As expected, my trip to NY was too short, but extremely fruitful. While I haven’t blogged much last month in my usual broadcast, I had the opportunity for some very pleasant one-on-one catch up sessions.
 
The first catch up session was with New York City itself – bitterly cold, expensive, still amazing. Running around, catching the subway, riding the taxis, made me feel like I never left. I missed out on the remainder of DineLA week but more than made up for that in the now extended indefinitely DineNY specials. Some of the restaurants were so superb, Compass in particular, they made screwing up healthy eating totally worthwhile. The city offered more than its share of activities, food, bar scenes. If it weren’t for being so short on time, I would take advantage of the cheap transcons fares a lot more often.
 
My individual sessions with friends turned out more numerous and intimate than expected. Credit the tight schedule and my 5-month absence for that. We had a few larger gatherings, but the private times talking about life, love, and career gave me the reconnection I needed. The best friends are the ones that always let you pick up exactly where you left off, no matter the time in between.
 
I don’t foresee time becoming abundant the next few months. I’ll use that as my reminder to cherish it and spare plenty of it for the important things, like friends, good travel, and the occasional great eats.
