OK, I confess. I turned 40 yesterday. Where's my convertible and toupee? Beam me up, Ray Kurzweil!

Dinner at Chango which was quite good, although my steak was a bit overdone. I'd probably go to Boca Chica first, though.

Then on to De La Guarda which I definitely recommend, if you like any/all of Blue Man Group, Stomp, Cirque de Soleil, etc. It grittier/sexier than any of those. There are no seats, and you will get spritzed a bit. So bring the right attitude and your hallucinogen of choice. One caveat: it needs a little more variation in what's going on. It lasts only an hour, so if you have that pace in mind, it will be great (thinking it might go on for a second hour was starting to feel like too much).

And, in case I wasn't facing enough mid-life stress... I'm putting myself back out on the job market. My CV is in flux still, but check it out whenever, and keep me in mind. I'm willing to talk about anything (in NYC), as I'm in deep info-gathering mode.
