After Rochberg: NYC Preparations
I spent this last week in New York with my good friend and colleague Jeremy Gill as we prepared for the premiere of After Rochberg.
In many ways this was a fabulous way to end 2018 — not the least of which is that this concert represented several milestones for my work on the Isomer Project. We worked hard this week. Even so, I got to visit with old friends…
taste test incredible restaurants…
try new cocktails…
rummage through bookstores in search of rare scores…
and take in early-morning NYC views.
A White Thanksgiving
The snow came early this year and it’s sticking around (9″ at last count). But in New Hampshire fresh snow with temps in the single digits is just another excuse for outdoor fun with the dogs.
And of course, we had a wonderful time with friends at a very New England-y thanksgiving gathering…
It’s Gettin’ Halloween-y
Mario Bava is definitely the inspiration for our interior Halloween decor this year. Oh, who am I kidding, we go for the Bava look anytime we can…
The bats are pretty cool, but it’s the powerful LED spotlight that really transforms the dining area.
And of course, Terror Fest continues. (Don’t look out the window if you scare easily!)
In other news, we saw our first light dusting of snow last week…
Time to break out the skis! #BecomingNewHampshire
Fall Arrives in NH
Temps are dipping into the 30s at night and the crisp smell of leaves is everywhere. Fall has once again arrived in New Hampshire. If there ever was a time of year to visit the White Mountains, this is it. The colors simply defy description.
And even though Ruby Jean looks ready to go explore, there are very few camping days remaining. Of course, there’s always winter camping…
Bradbury Mountain Camping
We spent an early fall weekend camping on the nearby coast of Maine.
With more than 3,478 miles of coastline, we always find something new when we visit. This trip we camped at Bradbury Mountain State Park and spent a long day hiking the Oven Mouth Preserves.
The fall color was just starting to hit in places so even a casual drive to the sample the local brew was full of interest.
