The Big Apple

Work took me to NYC the first part of this week. When not in meetings, we were able to take in some of the sights.We did the normal stuff like Liberty and Ellis Island.Then we also made our way up town to St. Patrick's cathedral and Central Park.We also took in an Off Broadway show - The Altar Boyz. It was very funny and a good show. One of the leads was Neil Haskel of SYTYCD and so the show was very high energy and had some great dancing.

Poisoned

We flew up to New Hampshire for a good cause and we took part in The Timberland Company's Serv-a-palooza.
The event is an annual event focused on improving the local community. This year's activities were to clear underbrush and growth at Odiorne Point State Park. It was a beautiful location and the weather couldn't have been more perfect.
It was great to eat lunch looking over the Atlantic and feeling the salt breeze. It was also great to be out of the office and doing some physical labor.

However, after rooting around in the shrubs for a couple hours one of my teammates paused and exclaimed "We've been working in a field of poison ivy!" Honestly, I was not familiar with the plant.
Two days later, my arms looked like this.
I continue to heal, but one thing is for sure. Now I know what poison ivy looks like and I won't make the same mistake twice.
