No, that’s not the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything. That’s the number of trips to New York I’ve taken over the past two years for school. And in a few short hours, I’ll be starting the last trip – #43 – on good ole Amtrak Northeast Regional #188. A lot’s [...]
Sara and Ella definitely had a worse time of it with Hanna than I did in New York, but it wasn’t exactly a walk in the park up there either. The only benefit was that, as I was up until the wee hours of Saturday morning doing homework, I got to watch Hannna make landfall [...]

That would be my commute back home after the end of class yesterday. Now, that’s slightly misleading in that, since I knew I had time to kill before my train, I spent the first 2+ hours at the hotel bar. But it was still a serious drag. However, now that I’ve 24 hours to reflect [...]
I wish I could say Sara was exaggerating about my leaving at 4am Sunday morning…but I have the taxi receipt to prove it. And seven hours (plus one Amtrak train, one Metro-North train, and one taxi ride best described as bizarre), I made it to Rye Brook, NY (right down the road from SUNY-Purchase, if [...]
After many days of teeth-gnashing, budget-making, and internal struggles (for the record, no, I didn’t have a can opener…), I finally submitted my acceptance form and tuition deposit. I’m still somewhere between nervous and thrilled – nervous at the size of the student loans, and thrilled about the opportunity to study at the school of [...]

Apparently the fact that I don’t deal with waiting very well somehow got through to everyone’s admissions department, ’cause this afternoon I got the call from Columbia, and I’m in. That’s the last of them, so now I just have to choose. And then find the money to pay for it. I owe a very [...]
Otherwise, I would have been placing a carryout order with them (for an early Father’s Day celebration we had tonight – lots of fun!) when NYU called this afternoon to let me know I’ve been accepted to the Stern School of Business! I probably should wait until I’ve received the official acceptance letter, but it [...]
Having three plus hours before my flight home, and having had dinner on Broadway at a very cute restaurant called “Toast,” I figured I might as well pick up the M60 bus that conveniently goes straight to LaGuardia. And hey – for $2, it certainly beats a $40 taxi fare from Manhattan. I certainly got [...]

I was in New York today giving a presentation (and, conveniently, interviewing in the afternoon at Columbia), so I missed the call, but apparently things are moving VERY quick in Ithaca, NY this week. The program director whom I interviewed with yesterday suggested that it could be a week before I heard a decision, but [...]

I spent this weekend (well, Friday and Saturday, specifically) in New York at NYU interviewing and sitting in on a couple of their Executive MBA classes. I’ll be interviewing with Columbia on Wednesday, and Cornell sometime soon after… unexpectedly, I’m seeing a pattern here. I guess given a spouse from New York and parents who [...]
