Global Update

So it has been a long time since I wrote regularly on this thing. I have no singular excuse, but a combination of a few. I thought it was about time to just post a general update to what has been going on in the last 4-5 months. A quick list:

  • I sold my first home and bought a new one. Still in Hoboken, but much nicer. Once it is all together I will post photos and more information. It is a green building, with a LEED certification. The process of selling, moving, and resetting up your home is a grueling and I will not be doing this again. The fish tank alone was 2.5 days of work and I lost more than a few of the poor little guys.
  • Work has radically changed. There have been a couple major changes to the company. Most of it to do with the recession.
  • I turned 36. More of less uneventful, but I had a couple wonderful dinners thank to my friends. I received a couple really cool gifts.
  • I have been working out like crazy, channeling my energy into that instead of other random pursuits. To give you an idea, I lost 15 pounds, then gained it back. I am all tough am mean looking again. For those of you reading this who have met me, you know what a joke that last bit is!
  • I am a bit behind in my Talmud reading, but I am still always trying to catch up.
  • I still go to minyan as much as I can, even though I have scaled back some of my workings at USH simply due to work and other pressures.
  • Being single has been a lot of fun. I have met a lot of great new people and a couple douche bags, but hey rain with the sun, as they say. I am not going to link to them here, because that is tacky.

I am sure I will think of more things to update later, but I have go get more unpacking done.
