Remember that birthday I mentioned? I didn’t forget to celebrate it. We took a quick trip to NYC the weekend before to see friends, see shows, do some shopping, eat all the food, and just generally have a good time. (I love saying things like “took a quick trip to NYC” because it makes me sound very fancy and jetsettery.) We flew in Friday morning and out Sunday night, and managed to fit in 2 Broadway shows, 3 museums, 1 shopping spree, and an undisclosed number of cocktails.

To make the trip even more of a whirlwind, I started it by meeting with a client (a cool one, otherwise I would have pulled the “sorry, I’m on vacation” card!). So I had to somehow come up with an outfit for Friday that was comfy enough for a 7am flight, nice enough for a business lunch, funky enough for hanging out downtown, and mean enough to go see Mean Girls. I think I pulled it off, but don’t ask me to do it again. Oh, did I mention my wife bought me tickets to Mean Girls? She’s the best, and she can definitely sit with me, even when she’s wearing sweatpants.
