Meandering Manhattan

Image
I visited New York for the first time ever! It was pretty surreal since all of my previous exposure to the city is from all of the movies I've watched. It was also surprisingly familiar to me, being a San Francisco native. Jumping on the metro and navigating the city on foot was totally in my wheelhouse. My brother was my guide, and we hit a bunch of his favorite spots in Manhattan. I got the local perspective, since he lives there. From greasy late night pizza to sake and standing room only bars, coffee nooks and rooftop clubs, I got a short but very dense taste of Manhattan for a weekend. We also went to a show in Brooklyn and saw Acceptance do a 20th anniversary tribute to their Phantoms album. Very rare to see them live! So, let's call it an appetizer, I'm sure I'll be back again for a bit longer next time!

Back to the mountains! Look, I'm a real kayak pro now, folks. I even hiked on foot to 'yak a lake that I've always wanted to. Fresh air, escape from the congestion and traffic of the bay... So great that we have these places to recharge and clear the mind. Nature truly is healing, y'all!

The big yearly conference came and went already, and I got to contribute some big things this go-round. I also got into the customer after party and had a great time!
