Guess what happened to me yesterday?!?
My friend Cody asked me to go out with him!
And Momma said I could go! WHOOOOPIE!!
Dear Cody,
I like going for walks and runs on the beach…
Tonight is New Year’s Eve – where are you taking me??
Love, Finn

I was truly touched by all of your kinds words when I shared my lay-off saga with you. I have been working at my new job now for a month, and I thought it would be fun to show you around the area where I am now working. I love this kind of thing because I just love maps. I can’t explain it. So, I thought, whoever can guess the closest location to my new job will win a little care package from my gal Finn.
Ok, here we go….
To the west – rebuilding after 9/11
To the west, Zuccotti Park…where are my protestors? Where’s Pip?!!
To the southwest, Trinity Church
To the south, Federal Hall
To the south, Stock Exchange
To the north – My subway stop in the morning. I get off here so I can get some fresh air and get a little walk in. On the way home I go in at a stop that is much closer.
To the east – see those buildings in the background – that would be Brooklyn! And just in front of it is the FDR Drive.

Ok, so there you go – this is my new working neighborhood. Can you figure out a street name? An address? Give it a whirl. And, checking out a map is absolutely allowed! Send your guesses to me at marianne(dot)d(dot)howard@gmail(dot)com by next Friday, January 13th by noon EST and the closest address wins!

And now, we must tell you ten things about ourselves that you may not know! This is hard, but here we go…
1. We almost got a rottweiler instead of our girl!
2. I still don’t really like other dogs in the fur, just my own! (Liking you all is much different). I try to smile at other dogs I see and pet one or two here or there, but Finn is by far the only dog I really really enjoy to be around.
3. Finn has picked up bad behavior at the dog park. She humps my husband’s leg. It is the funniest thing to see and we are trying to stop that behavior, but it just makes us crack up when she does it.
4. Now that there is frost on the ground in the mornings, we spend a little extra time on our first walk of the day. Finn likes to crunch crunch crunch around in the frozen grass. I even make a crunch sound for her when she steps.
5. Anyone seeing us do this would think I am a little loco, but I don’t care. She smiles up at me when I do it. Maybe she’s thinking I am a little loco.
6. Sometimes Finn wakes me up in the middle of night – I can hear her walking across the floors. I wish she would sleep through the night sometimes!
7. Finn prefers my husband’s socks to mine.
8. Finn gets “Oh, she’s so adorable” comments wherever we go. And I always say, “thank you.” Like I gave birth to her and she has my gene pool.
9. It’s really Finn’s world and I am just living in it.
10. And as you know, I started my new job earlier this month. I miss having my girl around me during the day! When I come home at night, she is so glad to see me and it makes me smile.
And now to pass the award along to six of my friends!
1. Westie Julep
2. While Walking Duncan
3. Two Scotties Livin’ the Dream
4. Bad Blair
5. Homer the Golden Retriever
6. Jasper-isms
