New York City, May 2011

View from our room. View from our room. New York Makes me dizzy. Touch him to determine. Now how will I ever get that strike when we only have 9 pins? Sienfeld's Kramer ate here. The fries aren't bad. A CPR kit is available under the sink if push your arteries over the top. And I thought it was a Bingo Parlor. A copy of the New York Times in New York costs $5.00. Why so expensive? It's not like they have to ship it somewhere. Snow globe anyone? Apparently the government has uncovered a sinister plot by terrorists planning to use snow globes to wreak mayhem. They are prohibited past security at La Guardia. This is a nice place for someone's trash or Princess Beatrice's weddng hat. I would have no problem threading this needle without my bifocals. Again with the Dizzy. Leslie from the gigantic Border's bookstore overlooking Madison Square Garden. Well it looks like someone made off with whatever was chained here without even tampering with the lock. Must have been Houdini. People don't come here to read. They come here to surf the Internet. Where are the best sellers? Now I know what it means when someone says, "It's like Grand Central Station in here." "Dispatch, I can confirm that Connie and Leslie are enjoying a glass of Chardonney at the bar." On our walk to the Museum of Modern History. I have my eye on you (even though I'm sleeping). The earth is round. You can tell by the curvature Bethesda Fountain, Angel of the Waters A self portrait I can live with, you can't see my double chin. And we thought they were bottles of wine. Imagine our disappointment. The historic Dakota where John Lennon was shot. Rosemary's Baby was also filmed here. Gothic. People just stand around on the sidewalk staring. This replica statue appeared outside a fire department after 911 and people started hanging momentos on it. It will be placed in the 911 Memorial. Imagine if it weren't a replica. Yes, they are dirty and they smell like pee. Hard to capture that in a photo. Taken from inside the Museum of Modern History. Tiles for America began on September 12, 2001 to commemorate the victims of 911. This area of the park is called "Strawberry Fields" and is across the street from John Lennon's apartment building, The Dakota. It is like a slot canyon. Deserted in the middle of the day? The food must not be very good here. Leslie stands between a model of the new World Trade Center Site. Great progress is being made on reconstruction.
