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.

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…

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
