2nd Week

So my 2nd week in New York City has gone by, I do need to put up more photos...
Here is the quick recap. Things have definitely picked up at work. I have been given my own projects that have actually been interesting. I can't go in to the specific companies that are involved, but the topics I have covered so far is damages from the Subprime Mortgage meltdown that is going on right now, Option Backdating issue, and inflation and discounting rates.
In addition, I have been catching up with more friends, which is great.

The weather has been very bizarre... Last week had 3 days straight of horrible disgusting weather... Humid and sticky and overcast with occasional thunderstorms. Then this weekend was amazing, truly perfect weather that makes you love Manhattan.

Right now the inaugural game of the Israeli Baseball League is on TV on Channel 21!!! Petah Tikva against Modi'in!! Sponsored by the New York Mets! (Proz, I hope you are watching this!!)

This week Jeffy and Lindsay are in town with their new little baby (see the Nicholas Patrick blog on the list on the right panel). Jacob is also coming in to town as well, so it is like a mini college reunion.

Also, I'm thinking about a good topic for my final project in Econometrics, if Sharon agrees. I'm thinking maybe something about interest rates for mortgages and money supply over time... We will see..
