The holidays weren't long enough...
Well, long time no blog. Getting used to this whole thing is really demanding, especially when I tend to fill my free time with ice-cream and perfecting my juggling (I just moved onto flaming daggers). The past weeks have been filled with uneventful days at work due to the slow season (which will be starting up again this Saturday with our Americana week) and relaxing days back home in Vegas and up in Massachusetts with the parents. After having an incredibly strong year, Christie's was generous enough to grant a ten day vacation over the holidays, during which I visited my brother and parents in Nevada, caught up with old friends, and had endless debaucherous dinner parties. Among the topics discussed were the fact that when I was born we used to live next to the amazing Robert Goulet, and would occasionally join him at parties across the street at Gladys Knight’s (the memories a 23 year old wishes one at 2 years old could remember!) as well as where everyone was during the O.J. Simpson car chase (my brother and I happened to be at the house of the mayor of Las Vegas). I returned to New York in time for New Years to join several coworkers at the bar Whiskey Town which is owned by one of my friend’s cousins. During the night I was also graced by the presence of the infamous Christopher Reilly and the equally (or would it be oppositely?) famous Sophie Fitzgerald (both ’07). After a short week at work I had a long weekend up in Norwell, MA, with the parents and a friend from New York. It was great to get into the country and watch alpacas grazing under the searing Massachusetts sun. Oh, and go to Wal-Mart.
Now I am back at work and getting ready for the kick-off into the new year of overbearing clients and priceless property. It is very interesting, and slightly depressing, to know that I am at work while those still enjoying the college life have a slightly longer vacation than me. Additionally, I can say goodbye to that trip I planned to the Bahamas in the spring. At least I can look forward to the Chargers winning the Superbowl as my dear Eagles were swiftly eliminated.
