No excuses

I’m back in New York for the week. I landed last night at around 7:30, and immediately booked it to one of my favorite restaurants in the city, Szechuan Mountain House. It was fantastic as always. Unfortunately the fun and games ended there as I proceeded to lay wide awake in bed until 3:30am. In some kind of reverse jet lag, I was again wide awake at 7:30am. I don’t know what it is, but I never really sleep well when I travel jet lag aside.

I had a football coach in high school that would always harp “no excuses, next play”. I can imagine most football coaches had some sort of similar mantra. In the world of football, after one play ends, you need to put things aside and focus on the next play, lest you compound a potential mistake or distraction into something bigger.

Today is a no excuses type of day. There’s little to no sympathy for being tired, especially in New York of all places. I’ll power through and look forward to crashing in bed early tonight.
