The last thing I could think about on a 90+ degree day in NYC was coffee but a frosty frappuccino smothered in caramel, well, that's always appealing :)  The only problem was that I think every person in the city had exactly the same idea because every Starbucks I walked by was packed with a bunch of sweaty New Yorkers (like myself) trying to find a reprieve from the heat with a few minutes of air conditioning and a cold, caffeinated drink.

No one was feeling very chatty on this, the longest, (and hottest) day of the year.  While I'm sure everyone is happy summer is finally (officially) here, we may all be a bit more apt to express it when we can actually go outside and sit in Central Park with our Tall, Grande, Venti whatevers and have some fun!

I love my city.  Anyone who follows my blog knows I am about as loyal to NYC as most dogs are to their owners but we have become a city that has forgotten how to have normal, polite conversations with people.  Everyone is busy checking their dating profiles on their laptops in Starbucks instead of just saying hello to the person at the table next to them.  I've actually seen people feverishly searching online for dates while sitting next to some of the most gorgeous people and not even noticing.  It is actually pretty sad.  While people have their faces buried in an iphone or laptop, their dream date could be standing right next to them waiting for the light to change.  Well, here's a wake up call-pay attention people!  Life is happening all around you and you're missing it ;-)

Sorry

I know I've been away too long and I deeply apologize.  I've been way too busy but I'm back!!!  Get your digs in (you're entitled).  For those of you with abandonment issues, you should be especially pissed and I don't blame you but I was thinking of you.  It was for reasons beyond my control that I couldn't maintain the site but we have lots to talk about in the coming weeks/months so tune in...
