I recently renewed my account and interestingly enough, I was surprised to see visitors and page views even though I haven’t been posting anything. There is no excuse for why I’ve been away but, in a nutshell, life got in the way. Among other things, there were deaths in the family, a wedding and honeymoon, priority projects at work, and protests, looting, a pandemic, stock market crash and recovery, and multiple promising vaccines in the works. Now that I have brought you up on current events, dear reader, I just want to wish you and your family above all health. With so many people still going through a tough time, I wish you gratitude for your health, family, friends. While things could always be better, they could also be worse.
NYC was hit hard a year ago. The unseen virus was spreading and well more than 500,000 lost their lives with the virus. I believe NYC will bounce back despite the work from home trend and the move to more affordable cities. Maybe I am biased as a born and raised New Yorker. But this is one of the greatest cities in the world and it will continue to attract people from all over the world. I look forward to seeing it happen. It’s already starting as I am noticing people moving back. I look forward to reinvigorating the city with those who stayed and returned.
