Visiting restaurants is part of the holiday season. There are over 24,000 restaurants in NYC and thousands more in the surrounding boroughs. I'm not sure if that figure, as stated on NBC news this morning, includes the many take-out places that bring nourishment to the fast pace of work and home life that most people here face. Personally, I only go to a restaurant on social occasions, preferring to cook my own food as I like it. This week will take me to three different restaurants, as I meet with three different friends as the holiday season begins. Today, I begin with Tom, the friend I blogged about last week.

Now is the time to finish 2014 projects and get into holiday headspace. It hasn't been an easy year, with death and destruction across the globe and people dealing with the issues of life. Several of my clients are faced with the loss of their jobs at the end of the year in an ever-changing economy, where humans are often downsized and the concept of career takes on new definition every year as workers burn out. All we can do as the month runs out is plan something special to enjoy in the moment.
ripple out against a backwash of protests around the nation and in many parts of the world.
