I have made the first purchase for the kitchen replacement, a new faucet, and the next day the kitchen sink. Both should be here by the time this posts. The faucet is black and square, there was a TV commercial of a couple walking into an architect, placing a faucet on the desk and saying "design us a house around this." Yes, that kind of a statement piece. Appliances remain the major loose end.
I am in a crazy busy cycle at the work, three major trainings in two days, and another next week. My first board meeting since becoming director is Friday, I get to shake things up. And it is budgeting season. And we are officially returning to the office. Glad I am taking a week off in May.
I am back in a reading frenzy, I bought a stack of books in NYC, and I am almost done with those. More on the Kindle to read. It was nice to get into ink and paper bookstores a couple of times. There is a nice small bookstore in the New York Public Library. And one down in the garment district that specializes in drama. You have to love a city that can support specialty bookstores.
On the east coast of the US there are three types of long distance trains. North East Regionals, Aceela, and named long distance trains. I have ridden all of them. The Acela is supposedly high speed, but not by much, not really worth the extra. The NE Regionals are older cars, not the nicest, often the cheapest. The named long distance trains have nicer interiors than the NE Regionals. On the trip to New York we took a NE Regional going up, and the Sunset Limited that goes to Miami on the way back, The seats on the Sunset where more comfortable and a little farther apart. If they are the same price, take the nicer train. Any train is the best way to travel on the upper east coast.
