Namaste blog tribe I hope you are all well around the world. I've decided that I think that I'm a hard person. I realized this today, when I sniffled and sobbed all the way to the vet to pick up Henry's ashes. Alone. In freezing cold weather. Which somehow makes it worse, cold always makes everything worse. Husband 2 is officially off the scene. I haven't mentioned much about the details, some things are private even in Internet land. Needless...

I consider Halloween to be extra special for many reasons. This year, I walked three miles to work (since Sandy ate the subway), three miles back... and then I had to take Henry to the vet again.

My eyeballs nearly rolled out of my head yesterday when I realized that over ONE MILLION reads have occurred in FollowMeToNYC land. It was one of those moments when progress occurs. In this instance, I looked down at my lap full of puppy and exclaimed, "Jesus. I still can't believe the puppies made the hike from Australia to New York City. Amazing."
