New York!!
I'm writing from the comfort of my new home: New York City! It's official: This (balding) Eagle has Landed!!
The flight yesterday was uneventful altogether and I had my first celebrity sighting within 20 minutes of being on the ground -- Mischa Barton from The O.C. was at the Newark airport. She and I passed at baggage claim and I thought to myself, 'that's Mischa Barton -- Casey is going to die'. While waiting at the taxi stand, she was just inside the door on her phone. I was on with my colleague Chris Kemp who encouraged me to snap a photo -- especially after hearing me tell him that she was butt-crack to the world. So, in honor of Chris:
I was able to cab directly to my new apartment and met the tenent who just moved out. And, spent the evening with my new neighbors -- Gary & Michele Little and Michele's brother and sister-in-law. We enjoyed 'Ship of Fools' -- a local sports bar and Tin Lizzy's -- a local $1 beer joint (yes, Bud Light in plastic cups, but still...).
I'm heading to the office this morning to get a few things done, to accept my packages and to set up my desk. Then, I have to spend the afternoon setting up home... with things like bed linens, towels, toilet paper, etc. I suppose I thought 'furnished' meant some of those things, but no... and I enjoy that kind of thing anyway. Good times!
So, Day One in Manhattan went well. Here's to Day Two!
