Slacker

Well, I'm sitting in Logan Airport, waiting to return to NYC after a week in Boston working at the Camper store here (yes, only a week this time around!!) Just got off the phone with Sara and realized that I need to update my blog. I'll spend some time this week adding some back-dated posts, and hopefully will keep up with posts in the future.

9/11 Towers of Light Tribute

Last night I tried to get some pictures of the Towers of Light tribute. I had to sneak onto the water front terrace of this Italian restaurant in my neighborhood to get some shots. The pictures looked good on my little camera screen, but, as I expected, they turned out pretty blurry without a tripod or a good support.

Spain, Again!

Ok, my trip to Spain wasn't as exciting as my adventures there last year (I only went for about five days). I spent most of the time with work people, which was fun because the trip is like a family reunion with the managers from around the world. I need to work on my Spanish because most of the Italians and Spanish people who work in the shops don't know English-- we know eachother but it is difficult to communicate. The worst part about the trip was the hangover I had on Thursday for my flight home. Let's just say I'll be more careful about eating enough food and drinking in moderation next year (as if I'll remember). Some visual highlights:

Celeb Sightings

The pickings have been slim, but Billy Crystal was in the store a couple of weeks ago. Sorry, that's all I got.
