You just never know

Today I had not really decided what I was going to do when I got an invite from a friend to spend some time together at an investment seminar in midtown.... I was not that keen but thought why not.  It turned out it was at The Sheraton Hotel in a seminar room and there were free snacks.

My friend went in and got ticked off the RSVP list and then I walked through with him no questions asked... we went straight to the buffet table where I piled my plate with all things cheese, fruit and crackers.

We sat and listed to the seminar for about an hour and a half - it was about buying and selling shares so a little interesting... I spent most of the time writing lists on the supplied note pads - lists about what I want to do in NYC and to my advantage it looked like I was taking notes.  I looked across to my friend at one stage and he was having a little nap!

We were both startled to consciousness when the fire alarm went off but it turned out to be a false alarm so all good.

Overall I spent a lovely few hours in a fancy hotel with free snacks away from the noise that is NYC.  Sometimes it is good to just say yes as you just never know.
