It took longer to get from my hotel in Dubai to the ship than it did to get fromNYC to London. Whadaya gonna do? I'm onboard, and surprisingly well rested. Idon't think that I'm a blithering idiot right now, but one can never be toosure.Still no internet on the ship, and so the ships email will have to suffice.Reach me at a2 DOT areesh AT ships DOT teekay DOT com for the next three monthsor so.

yesterday was my final full day in NYC for the next few months. Sent off in style by my home bible group, the 710WEA'ers. Here's some pics of the day/night. 710 WEA New camera is working out pretty well. A worthy purchase, wouldn't ya say? Anyhow, tomorrow I'll be joining the ship in Fujairah. Flying to Dubai in a few hours. I'm anticipating that my email address will be the same as it

So a year ago, while at sea, got an email from Jen asking if a friend of the farm could use my apartment for a bit, as he had just been hired by Craft as Chef de Cuisine and needed to relocate to NYC in a hurry. Not a problem. He stopped by the farm stand Saturday at Union Square, and we set up a Tuesday evening reservation. My guest was the lovely Alyssa, and when the server came by and said,

Met up with my Flying Pigs Farm retail colleagues for a farewell feast before I head to sea on Thursday. Venue: Congee Village, Allen Street at Delancey. All is well in the world now.

I saw him a few years ago, he was opening for Lori McKenna and, though she was great, I liked his stuff better.Anyhow, I just downloaded both his recent albums from CDBaby.com and it was worth the $22 some odd dollars I paid.

My niece, Arianna, had to draw a picture of the family pet for school. Family has no pet, so she made one up. Got published anyways. Here it is.

Off the Bolt Bus, I'm at 11th and G-NW ... need caffeine. Where to go? Hmmm..... looks like people on the next corner. Nothing here. Walk over. It's a Cosi. Well, better than nothing. Walk in. Look at the menu board .... bagel with cream cheese ... bundled with a house coffee ... $2.99 .... seems like a winner. Can I get a cranberry orange bagel with cream cheese? We stop toasting bagels

I'm on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, sitting in the very front seat of the Bolt Bus, and online. Now that's pretty cool. Though it's hard to type with the bus bouncing.Bolt Bus is definitely a winner. They have a plug for your computer, the bus is clean and comfy and on time.

I got some ribs Saturday from Mike and Jen, the dings and the dents, where the packaging had deteriorated and our customers didn't seem to want to buy them. But they were fine. Decided to use Bittman's rib recipe from last Wednesday's food section in the times. A buddy came over for lunch, and said "These are the best ribs I've ever had" so I guess the recipe was a success. I browned the

left the apartment at 1915, got to the 72nd street 1/2/3 station at 1920, got on an uptown 2 train at 1922. Got to 96th street, one stop later, at 1956, and had to walk inside the train, car by car, to the front to the foremost door, which was the only one to platform. Got to homegroup a bit late. So much for express.

yesterday afternoon I went out with my journal, a half written letter, and the final chapter of The Botany of Desire, to spend some time with a glass of wine and pen and paper. Venue: Bin 71. The space there is tiny. There is a horseshoe shaped bar, with other small tables on the perimeter of the room, as well as some sidewalk seating. I sat at one end of a communal table, 6 seats, where

under cabinet lights, range hood, backsplash remain. But at least I don't have to wash dishes in the bathtub anymore.

Been home from sea not quite three weeks, and have been very busy with the renovation of the kitchen on my rental house out on Long Island. Totally gutted the thing, knocked down some walls. Today the floor is being floated with concrete, tile goes in tomorrow, grouted on Friday, and next Monday the polish coat of spackle, then paint. Cabinets have been ordered, expect them in about 2 weeks.

Sold my truck on Monday. It's been off the road for a long time, but still, it was hard letting it go. But I wasn't going to get it in running condition again, and it was taking up space ... so when the kid working for the electrician I had wiring my kitchen on Long Island last week asked me about it ... anyways. Here it is, showing its aggressive profile, back in its fighting days.
