NYC
I’m in nyc for a memorial service for a square dancer who died suddenly a few months ago. http://patrickross.life/
Drove down with friends last night. They got an expensive hotel room (tho they were proud it was less than $300), but I have a coworker who lives in manhattan who said I could crash there, so I took him up on that.
It’s really tiny; 3 guys, 3 bedrooms, tiny bathroom, small kitchen/laundry/living space. They have a futon-like object that folds (mostly) flat. It was surprisingly comfortable despite having a ridge where it folds; you just have to arrange yourself carefully. There’s also only window A/C in the bedrooms so it was kind of warm. Helpfully I’m fairly resistant to heat, and I actually slept really well!
It’s a little odd because all 3 of them are terribly introverted so they (even my host) disappeared into their rooms all evening (I arrived at 9pm) so it was a little like being in my own hotel room, reading my book till I was sleepy, then this morning eating the random food I’d brought after asking if they were the sort that never had any food in the fridge. I mean, they were polite in the 3 sentences I exchanged but that was it.
Off to explore Central Park for the morning (which is only a couple blocks away) and then figure out how to ride the subway to the memorial.
