I got back Sunday from my jet setting across Europe. When I finally got home, I thought I was going to kiss the tarmac at JFK. I was just so homesick and could not wait to get back to New York. While Milan, Frankfurt & Istanbul were fun, I missed New York oh so much. For example:
I'll stop there because I've gotten into trouble for bitching before, and also I'm kind of rambling incoherently at this point since my mind is still entering this weird jet-lag induced limbo at about 7:30 each night, where I'm too tired to sleep, and at the same time too tired to do anything else but sleep. The upside to this is that I get up at 5:00AM, fresh as a daisy, not that I
- My doorman. I almost gave him a hug when I saw him. He completes me because if he's not there when I come home every night, how would I get in?

But staying at a hotel in Istanbul where bottled water is 12 YTL (about $8.00) in the minibar, while on the street it's about $0.30, made me take a pledge to appreciate New York City tap water.

But seriously, I didn't know Viagra would do the trick. But who would you trick with?

hope you got some turkish delight- too sweet for some, but i embrace diabetes with open arms
i've never really gotten used to having a doorman personally-- they know WAY too much about all of us. i only hope mine doesn't have a blog!
I always want to know how people even begin to try to discover things like this.
My attempt to make a joke about "killing two birds with one stone" by taking Viagra failed miserably. :-(
I guess I better get back to my day job.
"Would you like fries with that, sir?"
Heh, who knew Viagra had a collateral benefit?
Welcome back to the Upper West Side!
