June 2 is here again, signifying another full year that I have been married to my bride. Marriage is a wonderful thing, and it has provided me with great happiness as well as the cutest little boy in the world(‘s history). We are in New York City for our anniversary, which is coincidentally where we were last year as well. A year ago I took Monica to see The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, which is something she has wanted to do for almost her whole life. This year I was thinking of seeing another play/musical - Blue Man Group, Avenue Q, or The Spelling Bee. Not sure if we will be able to make it to any of the above, but it would be cool.

The horrible thing about this trip is that I got sick the day after we arrived. Strep throat with a sinus infection and fever. Totally sucks. In fact, I haven’t even rested at all because I feel it would be a wasted trip if I flew out here from Seattle just to stay in bed to recuperate. Building upon the frustrations is the fact that Optimum Online, my parents ISP, blocks port 25 and 587 for outgoing email - so I cant even respond to the many (many, many) emails that I receive on a daily basis. Hopefully I can find a hotspot to connect to tomorrow.

I will be back in the Seattle area on Saturday evening, flying in at around midnight on JetBlue - excellent airline. I will post more about them after we get back.
