Good morning, winter. I think this is an appropriate amount of snow for a city. A bit more than a dusting, but not so much that it’s going to create a lot of grey-brown slush. I still prefer my 80° outdoor brunch and polo game winters in the desert tho, soz not soz.
I went to the UAE for 13 years and all I got were these lousy selfies. No but seriously I hate having photos taken of me, especially touristy ones, and now kinda regretting it. But the point is: Happy 50th birthday, UAE! You were my home throughout the majority of my adult life and have undoubtedly changed me profoundly. You still feel like my home more than anywhere else in the world and I miss you enormously.
[For sale] It’s about that time again—ski season! And I’ve just discovered my jacket/trouser set no longer fits [looooool fu covid pounds (and hoagies these past few months)]. So I’m selling my Helly Hansen set. Barely worn, like new. Mostly used nibbling €100 truffle pizzas and quaffing Perrier-Jouët in snow polo VIP tents high in the Alps. So yeah. Real gently worn. (Originally about $600, DM me for more details and best price).
This has been my first autumn since 2007, and it has not disappointed. Living in Philly’s historic Old City neighborhood is really the best of both worlds: smack in the city but also surrounded by beautiful old buildings, cute independent shops and cafés, and plenty of green space and colorful trees, thanks to the Independence National Historic Park area. This is the walkable city living and history that I so missed in Dubai.
