The journey, they say
I spent today, waking up early to get an answer sent to a colleague, bouncing around between meetings, into a packed evening. With barely a procrastinating YouTube video watched, I was busy all day. But even as focused as I remained all day, I couldn’t help to think that I was still too far from…

Fond memories of Le Jardinier
Two years ago, I found myself in New York City in the fall. It was a work trip, but I decided to make the best of my visit. I decided to eat well, even if I had to eat alone. I wandered down the streets and decided to head into Le Jardinier. To be honest,…
