Downtown Sunset



It rained cats and dogs all day.  Then it all
cleared up long enough for a fireball
sunset, then started pouring again.
Lesson:  You have to be in the right place
at the right time—with a camera.

dwarfed



These buildings in Tudor City look like
they're about to be inundated by a big
steel and glass tsunami.  I checked:  A
lot of these cars have diplomatic plates.

on the avenue I'm takin' you to



You can stand on a little bridge that runs
over 42nd Street at the eastern end, and
see all the way to New Jersey (13 long
blocks and a river away).
Nice view, I think, and not just because
it includes my fave NYC PTDD building.

Theme Day



Okay, I'll play along.  Today's theme is "yellow"
and here's NYC's iconically yellow thing. 
So why does it make me think of PHX-CDG?

I Want My MTV!



He said, "If I have to work all night in this crummy
bodega with the pigeon poop all over the awning
and the drunks coming in for more beer and
everyone complaining because the cigs are up
to $10 a pack, then you'd better get me some
Wrestlemania!"

pictures at an exhibition



Our friend Bob Sievert is having a show
at the moment.  Between us, the ex and
I have three of his things (which we 
got either in trade or as a gift). 
 Wish I could afford to buy art.

St. Patrick's Cathedral



My favorite moment in this cathedral was the wedding
of an actress (friend of a friend), who sailed down the
aisle proudly 8 months pregnant.  The child (a girl)
was born on time a month later, and named Margo
Channing (after Bette Davis' character in All About Eve).
