1 year anniversary

So I arrived in NY roughly this time last year. Since then I have:

• posted 269 blog entries. That's a 73.6% daily blogging rate, which I'm pretty happy with. Perhaps in the name of personal development I should increase my KPI to 80% for next year. Or perhaps for personal development I should blog less and live more. It's contentious as a recent NY Times article demonstrated.
• put on 6 kgs. I don't want to talk about it.
• been to 4 Broadway shows: Spamalot, Xanadu, August: Osage Country, Putnam County Spelling Bee. When I see this list I realise I really have to amp up the calibre of my theatre choices. I guess that puts Avenue Q and Boeing Boeing on hold.
• been on 1 bike ride. But it was awesome and next weekend I'm thinking a lap of the island.
• visited 7 out of state cities and drove through amusing place names like Poughkeepsie, Yonkers, New City, Gaylordsville, Climax and Surprise ( I kind you not).
• been to New Jersey once. For lunch.
• seen 29 celebs at various levels of the A-D List scale
• lived in 4 apartments and one squalid room, which I'm trying to forget
• worked with 6 different clients ranging from weight loss supplements to cars to finance to video games and radio
• had 0 cases of food poisoning from my halal street meat man
• had 5 friends come to crash on our delightful sofa bed
• eaten 47 hamburgers. I finally have a favourite. The Chicago, from NY Burger Co.
• been to all 5 boroughs of New York
• declined one marriage proposal from a checkout guy in Staples, the local equivalent of Office Works. Nothing but the best for me.
• cooked dinner less than 10 times. This I feel guilty about. Poor Jus.
• not learned Spanish, like I intended to.
• had a ball. Mostly.
• missed my peeps terribly!
