It was a cold, cold day last week when I ventured on NJTransit into the Big Apple for my monthly networking day (self-imposed). I chose the coldest day in months. After a two hour commute due to 'technical difficulties" on the rail lines, I made it to my first appointment.

On my way to my second meeting, I ended up catching a taxi to take me the last few blocks. At that point, my toes were frozen and my face hurt.

Yes, I love a good day in NYC. I have the opportunity to meet with a lot of people, share ideas and catch up. However, next time, I will check the weather and choose a day when the weather is in the double digits.

So after four meetings including a wonderful reception at the Hard Rock Cafe that included amazing blue margaritas and cheesecake bites that were to die for, I was more than ready to head back into the suburbs of New Jersey.
