Wow, this blog thing is pretty cool. I just discovered the place to read the comments that some of you have left. I've checked the personal messages but comments is different. Thanks to those of you who've taken the time. Today was a different kind of a day. Sue is doing much better, but still coughing and not quite readt to resume the pace. The boys were tired as well, so after trying to get them going for 2 hours, I realized I was on my own for the day. So I bought the unlimited subway card and was on my way. I hit every part of Broadway from the Brooklyn Bridge to 90th St. That included Canal St, Chinatown, City Hall, Delancy St, the East Village, Union Square, Grand Central, Bryant Park, Times Square, ... read more

Today was a lot more low key but unforgettable nontheless. We slept in in an attempt to shake off the jet lag and acclimate to the time zone while deciding what's next. That took most of the morning and early afternoon, but when we finally did get going everything was just beautiful. Just walking the 5 blocks from West End to Central Park West we past at least a half dozen community gardens, parks, a riding stable, and a grand old school.

Leaving NYC today. Stayed at my brother's place on the upper East side. Monday night we went out and had some german food and beer w/ John (whose last day at work is this Friday) and my brother. Yesterday Sherry and I ate at Red Bamboo, one of her favorite veggie restaurants. I had the soy chops and they were pretty darn good, like schnitzel. We then took a walk down through Soho and across the Brooklyn Bridge to Brooklyn Heights. Celebrity sightings yesterday: * The guy that plays the lead in 'Blind Justice', sorry no picture. Eating at Red Bamboo. * Reggie C, aka Mr. Move, again sorry no picture. Standing on a corner in Brooklyn. Reggie C is actually a friend of a friend of Sherry's. He's a self-described white booty rapper, and we ... read more
