My flight was ok for a cross country flight and we landed in Boston just before 2pm. I called home and Jagger just woke up 15 minutes earlier meaning 11:45am in Denver. About an hour later we made it to our meeting which lasted about 90 minutes and went great. It was good I made the trip. This morning I have another meeting here in New York at 11am and then will head to the airport.
My room is small but was a pretty good deal at $250. My breakfast just arrived which is two cups of coffee, 2 eggs and bacon at a cost of $43! I think they charged me $3 for cream for my coffee, wow. After my meeting yesterday we drove from Boston to New York arriving around 8pm. I quickly changed and then went downstairs to meet Lorenzo so we could make a 9pm dinner with my good friend Laura. She’s now running the exclusive Mandarin Hotel which has suites that go for $30,000 to $40,000 a night. Most clients are from the Middle East but she also gets Oprah from time to time and other wealthy (or stupid to me as anyone that’s spend that on a room for a night no matter how much money they have is stupid!) people like the owners of the Triple Crown race horse. Anyhow she was going to put me up there but I opted for my little room a block from my meeting. Maybe next time.
It was great to see her as she wanted to have dinner so I could meet her new boyfriend. She introduced me as her big brother and was so cute as I could tell she was looking for my approval all night. He’s a nice guy and I’m happy for her as she hasn’t dated anyone in years as she works too much. She looked good and misses Lori too. Finally a little after a great dinner at 11pm Lorenzo and I had to stop by a bar to meet Eric who is a friend and former business associate who now works for another company. We managed to get out of there in 10 minutes thankfully and I was in bed by midnight.
So that’s it for me from the Big Apple. It was nice being in the city last night as it was sort of deserted as most people are still not back from the long weekend. It was like a movie it was so quiet. Hopefully the traffic to the airport will be quiet too! Lori and the kids sound fine and I’ll be in Denver by 6 with no delays and home before 7. God Bless.
