One of those sorts of Sundays

[arib]

-Woke up
-BoltBussed to NYC
-checked into hotel (The Hudson Hotel. Nice, but deeply weird looking)
-Met up with reporteraliza's brother and sister, who were also at the hotel
-Took a cab to Williamsburg for reporteraliza's cousin's wedding. (Surprisingly nice, more about it later)
-Took a car service back to the hotel, fell over.
-Woke up at 5AM to get to JFK for my flight home, in order to make it to work on time. Aliza will be puttering around with family, and taking a bus home later.

So, all told, less than 18 hours in New York, I'm surprisingly tired. I have a Powerpoint presentation I could be working on, but I suspect it'll wait until I have more conciousness to spare.

I once left MA at noon, attended a Brit in Manhattan at 4, left at 7, dropped someone in White Plains, was home at 11. 11 hours, for 3 in NY. That is the ne plus ultra of "stupid trip", being defined as less time at your destination than in transit. Not as stupid as a friend who did a one hour meeting in Sweden, and did a round-trip from Chicago - but at least that was business.

I'm undecided if the following meets the criteria for stupid trip: leave Boston at 5, sleep in small hotel in upstate NY. Arrive near Pittsburgh at noon. Sleep overnight in a tent. Leave PA at 1 PM the following day (Sunday), stay overnight at a hotel in Western MA, arrive at work by 9. I think it was a stupid trip... but it was also worth it. There was substantial time at my destination.

More about it later?

As reporteraliza's cousin's sister (the married one in B-more), I'd love to read more about it. Do I need to be friended or something?
I really am curious about other's reactions to the most interesting wedding I think I was ever at. :)

Hi Leah! (at least, I think this is you...)

We're in the middle of packing up and moving, so my blogging has become even more sporadic than usual. Hopefully things will settle down once we're in the new place next week...

Good detective work :)

Enjoy your new place. Aliza told me how hard it is to find something there. I can totally commiserate. Good luck with the settling in!
