Just Good Shit: 11.07.21
Hi I spent this past week with my gf at a very cute Airbnb in the Catskills. We did a lot of sitting by the fire and playing Wingspan (this is the article that made me want to buy the game BTW) and also ventured out for a hike to Kaaterskill Falls. Before we drove back to the city, we stopped at Phoenicia Diner for a really lovely outdoor brunch. Overall, the foliage was excellent, the driving was easy, and it was just a lovely and relaxing week! And we were back in time for the NYC Marathon, one of my favorite days of the year.
Here’s what else I had going on...

Watching & listening to
So many podcasts! My friend Amy Rose is hosting the new season of POWER, focusing on Hugh Hefner and Playboy. And we listened to the entire 30 for 30 Heavy Medals series as well as “The Spy Who Signed Me.” Also, our Airbnb had cable, where I discovered Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team, which just...plays in an endless loop on CMT???
Have a great week! 🏃
