I can’t explain to you what the last 72 hours have been like, but I am going to try. I guess I should start at the beginning. When Bryce and I got offered a charter position and I threw it out to the universe that if we got a substantial tip I would make my…

A New York Minute
“One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.” ― Tom Wolfe When you google New York Minute this is what comes up in Urban Dictionary: “A New York minute is an instant. Or as Johnny Carson once said, it’s the interval between a Manhattan…
