happy thanksgiving everyone!
despite living in the city that never sleeps, new york does shut down on thanksgiving. mom and i walked around a bit this morning but decided to hole up for the rest of the afternoon until dinner (although i plan to hit the gym for a bit). we're going to a restraunt across from my apartment that ive always wanted to try. bertrand and i know the owner but we've never eaten there. it's a cozy american bistro, although it's owned by a frenchman, and is perfectly located for a cold day.
we saw walk the line last night which was extremely well done. kudos for both reese witherspoon and joaquin phoenix--they sang perfectly and the acting was fabulous. it's so much fun to have my mom in town. we plan to hunt for a dress for my christmans party tomorrow and see another movie. i haven't seen a movie since the 80s so im taking advantage of having her here ;).
anyway, i don't want to write too much. perhaps the highlight of my day has been getting a text from jp. he and and his brother just finished the famous--el camino (walk)--400 kilimeters in less than a month. his message said they got to santiago and im really happy for them. they'll get to celebrate completing the trip, doing it in a great amount of time, and celebrating thanksgiving without worrying about the next day. this also means he's closer to getting back to the states. in fact, by next saturday, he will be in new jersey and we'll reunite. i miss my little buddy.
i hope everyone has a great thanksgiving and enjoys the time with friends or family---
