Birthday Bash

My new beau Clifford had a birthday. He does birthdays well. Old friends fly in, new friends join in the fun and he plans quite the festive event. We started out at the Bridge Cafe with his 4 best buddies who could make it to NYC, where Lucia totally treated us. She is the bartender there that we have befriended and she is darling. She made him a birthday sign and brought out peanut butter pie. So cute.



From there, we moved on to the next event which was cigars sent from Clifford Sr all the way from Detroit for the boys to enjoy. We had scouted earlier in the month for the perfect view of the Brooklyn Bridge. It was magical.






The boys smoked and we shot well past sunset as the lights came up on Manhattan and Brooklyn. This city is so beautiful at night.





From there we headed to Stecchino in Hell's Kitchen for an amazing Italian meal, where 6 more of Cliff's friends joined us. The food was great, the conversation was animated and the festivities continued.





After dinner we headed a few doors down to Vintage where even more friends joined. Cliff held court while I got to know Kristi and Jackie a little better. Great ladies. It was quite a night and according to C "a birthday for the history books". Happy Birthday!!

Panama Day 5-Howard

This was the most surreal hour and a half of the whole trip. We made our way out to Howard Air Force Base (which is no longer an AFB) and found our old house. Just looking at the photos I get emotional all over again. Not that I broke down crying or anything but it was really weird standing in a place that holds so many memories.  Here is me freaking out that we found it!!! Our old Street! Coffey Avenue! Exploring the old digs!  This stairwell led up to the door in the kitchen. It was a little creepy so I just filmed from where I was.  :-/ I don't do creepy. Here we are in front of 60A Coffey Ave!    That "hill" behind my mom seemed so much bigger when we lived there. I remember my dog running down it and tripping, which led to a head over heels tumble that still makes me laugh when I think of it. And that fence used to be a favorite spot for three toed sloths to hang out.  ...

Coat Week-Day 7

Well I missed a few days even though I had these in the can. Ooops. Here is Day 7 of Coat Week and I saved the best for last. I think this is by far my most favorite coat. I love the color, I love the shape and details. I got it here in New York a few years ago from Banana. It was on sale and I have never regretted spending that money. I wear it all the time. It hasn't aged at all and neither has my love for it. What do you think? Coat-Banana Republic, Top-F21, Sweater-UO,Jeans-Uniglo, Boots-Wild Diva

Last long run

Well today was the last long run until the big marathon next week in San Francisco. Half the team is running the Long Beach Race tomorrow and my running partner is in Seattle so I decided to sleep in this morning and skip the final team run. I am kinda tired of running in Irvine and I really wanted to sleep in a little today so I made plans to run Back Bay in Newport instead. It was nice to get a good night's sleep and wake up without the alarm when it wasn't pitch dark outside. I called my friends Holly and John and they offered to ride bikes with me while I ran, and I am not one to turn down company, so I headed to their place and we took off. John was even pulling Chloe in the bike buggy. I don't know how he got up some of those hills pulling that thing. Give me running shoes any day. It was nice and overcast and the run was pretty uneventful. We all just chatted and kept it going forward. We turned around at 4 miles which just "happened" to be at the bottom of...
