Whew! I’ve gotta be honest, I’m beat but know I made a commitment to participate in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge (more so to myself) so here I am. I began this post at 9:45 p.m. and although I’m ready to crawl into bed, I’m thinking of something witty to say related to the letter “O.”
After hitting the street at 6 a.m. today and rolling in around 9 p.m., the only thing I could think of was, “Am I too old for this?”
“This” is in reference to my job in tourism public relations. Granted, every day isn’t like this week in New York City, although every day is something different. I’m mentally drained, my dogs are barking and my comfy hotel bed is calling my name.
In addition to attending today’s function and following up on office work I…
Thought It’d Be A Great Idea to Show Up at the Good Morning America Set at 6:45 a.m.
Got to See Julie Louis-Dreyfus (She was promoting VEEP – her new show on HBO)
Smelled the Spring Flowers in Central Park (at least I think that’s what I smelled.)
Met up with My Friend Cordelia…
Who always knows where to find the off-the-beaten path things to do and experience. Be sure to visit her blog, Cordelia’s Journeys for reflective posts and amazing photography.
Admired the New World Trade Center Building
Couldn’t Pose on the Steps Where Some Law & Order Episodes Have Been Filmed (Vanity Fair hosted the opening party for the Tribeca Film Festival.)
Was Wowed by New York by Gehry Building (Light dances off the building.)
Gained a New Appreciation for Street Art (Yes, I do believe that’s Tom Hanks’ head on a dog’s body.)
Watched Some of the Chinese Community Play Games in Columbus Park
Reflected at African Burial Ground National Monument(Which dates back to the 1600s.)
Oh yeah, in addition to the lunchtime work function, enjoyed some delicious bites for dinner.
In short, I’m a little tuckered and feeling old but know after a few hours of sleep, I’ll be able to do it all over again.
So tell me, how was your day?
This post is part of the 2012 Blogging from A to Z Challenge. Check back daily for a different letter!
I am tired just reading it! If you have time there was a wine bar called Ayza? I think that had the most delicious dessert flight of 6 truffles and two dessert wines.
Hello,
I feel the same way! What was I thinking, 26 posts in a row???? I think this is my new favorite blog! I will definitely be back to see what you dream up for the other letters, and to read more of your lovely writing.
I am doing the A to Z Challenge as well. Take a peek at my blog too if you get a chance!
Best,

Hmm, I’ll see if I can find it; I go home tomorrow. Forgot to mention other than the subway home last night – I walked ALL day!
Wonderful … photo’s of a very special city. Going back next year for my 65th birthday on 11.09. So it’s going to be a very special visit – that I wanted to do for some years – and when I won 2x 1 class ticket over FB with British Airways – nothing can stop me. Can’t wait. Thanks for giving you view of the Big Apple
Wow, such a busy day! Hehe
Wow! Congrats on winning the tickets! You’ll have an amazing time for your birthday, it’s such a wonderful city, always something different and new to do. I’ve yet to see a Broadway show, though. Next time.
Sounds as though you’ve been busy, too!
