December 28, 2008, I arrived in NYC with 3 suitcases and a load of anxiety.
December 28, 2009, I ate my favorite pizza from Totonno's, a cupcake from Crumbs, and polished the evening with a few Michelada's from Mayahuel.
At the end of this year, I can look back and realize this move has literally changed my life. Fortunately, the hi's outweigh the low's and make for one hell of a year.
If I had it to do all over again? Yes, I would. But, I'd be more prepared for single degree temperatures, mice in the stove, the Grand Central Shuffle, and sweat - lots and lots of sweat.

Peter And The Wolf
A pleasant Monday night at the Guggenheim.
Isaac Mizrahi narrated Sergei Prokofiev’s children’s classic. New York City Opera’s George Manahan conducted the Juilliard Ensemble. Set installations were created by the renowned New Orleans-based art collective YA/YA (Young Aspirations/Young Artists), using only materials from Katrina's aftermath.

The Toxic Avenger
A surprising Wednesday night delight.
Diana DeGarmo (from American Idol) lit up the stage - all 5 feet of her.
