From September 15 to October 14, I went home to New York to see family, friends, and of course, my brand new baby nephew, Aron.
It was so good to see everyone. I don't think a month ever passed by so quickly -- and I'm sorry I didn't have a chance to see you all as much as I would have liked.
During my month back, I enjoyed good friendship over Indian, Thai, Szechuan, Shanghainese, Mexican, Greek, Venezuelan, Filipino, Caribbean, Vietnamese and various fusion cuisines. There was stimulating conversation accompanied by dim sum, tapas, Midwestern-style BBQ, Kosher deli sandwiches and matzoh ball soup, classic American burgers and cupcakes. And, of course, Mom and Dad's first-rate homecooking surrounded by warm family cheer.
So... um... I need to get back to my swimming regime soon... and maybe join a gym.
