Despite having his company’s earnings call and trick or treat duties, Matt snuck into the city for a lunch at J.G. Melons.

Anniversary shopping.

#90: Helicopter Ride

#60: Eat at a top 100 restaurant

Cosme in NYC debuted on this year’s Pellegrino top 100 restaurants in the world. We were underwhelmed. Doubt it stays on the list.

From Skil Bosch Power Tool Company in Chicago to Mongolia. Looking forward to the next 21 years.

#63 Done: Bike ride in another city

#58: Have a drink in a bar over 200 years old

George Washington drank here before he was even president.

#45: Walk across a bridge

Brooklyn Bridge

#77: Five rooftop toasts

Cheers from the Arlo rooftop in Soho.

#71: Buy a new suit.

Went from a suit size 42 to a 40.  16.5 neck to a 15.5. Will need to get back to the discipline when we get home to make it fit again.

Serving coal fired pies since 1929. Worth the hype.

6. Travel w/an empty suitcase.

Packed and ready to go.

Clue themed party in the Hollywood Hills.

#100: Move my photos to the cloud

Took awhile, but I finally did it. Now they will last as long as the icloud storage is paid, so probably no longer than the originals will have lasted. Dust in the wind.

The new stadium is great.

I won’t have a bad thing to say about this city for the next five to six months.

#10: Go to a playoff game

Last minute decision to take a client to the game. Wanted a dfferent result, but Kershaw was great.

#81 Done: Visit a Winery

Joined our supperclub in Healdsberg and Cloverdale for some great wine tasting at Robert Young, Field Stone and Blue Rock wineries.

Robert Young Winery in Healdsberg.

First rain of the season in Burbank. We’re chasing the sun North for the weekend.

Enjoyed. Love a happy ending.

Like the Jack Reacher movies, this was formulaic, but entertaining.

My mom’s most faithful and devoted pup, Shelby, has sadly passed away. I know it hurts like hell, mama, but in time that hurt will evolve into grateful and happy memories.

#72: Have a catch

#44: Three Beaches

Oxnard, CA.

Took some clients from Louisiana to the new restaurant, Avra in Beverly Hills. P. Diddy came to our table and introduced himself which I think solidified our relationship with our clients for a long time. Thanks, Puffy.

The dogs hate nothing more than when random cats show up at the front door.

Took an Alabama client out to dinner and we ran into a vendor and our UPS driver to prove LA is a small town.
