Life is soooo hard...

I spent an extraordinary dinner with my colleagues yesterday at Battery gardens, a restaurant at the southern tip of Manhattan. It feels good to be part of a succesful company that can afford such corporate events...Imagine being along the water, cooled by a pleasant breeze, with the best view (from Manhattan) of the New York bay, statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.Plus the menu: top quality soft crab cakes, Chilean sea bass and a strawberry parfait, accompanied by Veuve cliquot champagne, Pouilly fuisse and a delicious Californian Chardonnay (that, I have to admit, was even better than the Pouilly Fuisse).I was really amazed at the quality of the food and drinks! It was really a night to remember...
Ok ok ok, before I get too many bad comments, I confess, I am a bad evil capitalist and materialist person.... Whatever...
By the way, the weather forecast announces what will probably be the hottest day of the year tomorrow: Google says 41C, weather.com predicts 36 (feels like 42) and Accuweather 36 (feels like 45!). Right now, at 10:42 pm, it is 33 (feels like 38!). Hope I will survive....

  • La vue a l'air sympa, mais celle depuis Newport Beach, CA, c'est pas mal non plus !
