Settling in

Wrapping up the day here on this most excellent couch, a fine day.

• Breakfast with my boy Dave Berck at the Nautilus Diner
• QC'd a last couple of college essays for Natalie, who insists on applying to a few more schools, for some reason I don't fully get
• Ran my mom out to LaGuardia, encountering very little traffic
• Went for a run in the bitter fucking cold, so as to justify my dessert, a pretzel cupcake that Natalie had made with her cousin Sadie. Sadie distracted Natalie with her constant patter, so that Natalie accidentally put in a whole stick of butter when two tablespoons were called for. Perhaps the best mistake ever
• Graham and I watched not one but two episodes of The Blacklist
