Dear Mom,

Happy Birthday!

So, I got you a special gift this year. Let me explain...

Remember that email you wrote to me during my second week of work? The email that went a little like this, "How is your second week going? Hope you are finding lots of fun things to fill your free time! Reading, Cooking, Friends, Exercise, Blog?"

Now you remember.

I know you well enough to see what you were intending by that final sentence there. I see how you strategically placed "blog" last in the list for emphasis. It was a subtle hint, dropped much like the prior subtle hints, that you wouldn't mind if I started up another blog. So, here I am writing my first NYC blog post to you, on your birthday, as your birthday gift. It will literally (pun intended) be the gift that keeps on giving.

What should you expect from this blog? I'm not quite sure yet, but most likely my posts will be filled with everyday yet extraordinary situations (aka the NYC norm) that I somehow forget to tell you about over the phone. I hope you (,Dad and who ever else stumbles upon this page) enjoy it.
