Sort of a Relay Race

March 16, 2012 at 3:19 pm by Claudia

No pretty pictures today, I’m afraid. I had my iPhone with me in Manhattan, ready to take some photos of my favorite city. Alas, it was a gray day – foggy and rainy.

I ended up shooting some pictures from inside the bus as we left Manhattan.

That’s the Empire State Building with the top of the building hidden in the fog. Not a good day to be up on the Observation Floor.

From inside the bus, passing another bus.

Ah, the life of a jet setter. It was basically an in and out day. In to Manhattan on the bus, then travel 2 stops on the subway, then walk to my coaching session, coach for an hour and a half,  scurry back to the Port Authority Bus Station via the subway, grab some takeout to eat on the bus, then a bus trip of an hour and a half, arrive at local bus station, drive home, pass the car keys on to Don, who was ready to leave for work. Sort of like a relay race.

I’ve fed the dogs, vacuumed the house, and now I’m settling down to read some blogs. Right before I left this morning, I quickly listed another scarf on Etsy and it sold while I was in the city. Looks like more scarf crocheting this evening.

Have a great Friday.

    Wow-A day like that really keeps you on your toes, doesn’t it? Do you know I went to school in the NBC building in Rockefeller Center?

    I guess I am new enough following you that I don’t know what you went there to coach?

    Hope you get some rest tonight- xo Diana

    I was going to ask if you went to the Port Authority and then down to Manhattan. Cool photo of the Empire State Building being shy in the clouds. The one of the passing bus is really cool!

    Congrats on the scarf! You are so popular!

    Forgot about this for you. I’m sure you’re exhausted. Aren’t we busy little bees in our busy little shops?

    I cannot imagine getting on a bus to go someplace – let alone getting off the bus and onto a subway! I would be sooo out of my element. LOL I’d have to drive an hour just to get TO a bus. That’s why I enjoy reading blogs so much – glimpses into another way of living.

    I was so happy when my daughters moves away from New York. It is a wonderful city, but the pace of life there is too tiring for me. I am so happy to see that your scarves are selling so well.
    Hugs,
    Laura

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
