Dad Visits NYC

My dad surprised me with a request, “Can I visit NYC?” It’s been awhile since he’s come to NYC. It must have been 5 years ago.

I checked the Master Calendar. Yes, capital M. That calendar is intense, color-coded, and a beast I try to tame by making sure I feed it jelly beans (the good kind, not those yucky fat ones).

But I digress. I must be hungry.

The only weekend that worked was 3 weeks away. And voila, in a blink of an eye, he somehow chose a red eye to fly in and then a 6AM to fly out (what?!)

We packed in all the NYC faves:

Poor dad was pooped at the end of his trip. His feedback, “It would be nice to talk next time.”

Hmm…
