Damn, I missed kickypants last night......

So, are the pizza and bagels 'all that' in NYC?

Dag and I figure we can be there between (about) 1 and 10 pm on saturday.

We'd like some phone numbers.

ehBeth--

If it makes packing easier, I'll be in a windbreaker and jeans.

I'm humming along with Tom Dooley: "This time tomorrow...." (but without his deadlines).

Are all men obsessed with the "sensible shoe" subject?

Beth, about the weather. These last few days (which have been considerably cooler than those the week before) it's been warm in the sun (on the sunny side of the street) and quickly cold in the shade. And as you may know already, the sun is not shinning directly on the street except for those hours from late morning to 5 pm at best. So, just in case you haven't thought of this, bring layers. And not just layers but be sure to start with something sleeveless that can be easily made warmer with one or two next layers, all of which of course have to be transportable by some means that is comfortable. It's a trick that took me several weeks to perfect. And even then I still goof up some. I thought I knew how to layer, but each city has it's own unique characteristics. It's always warmer and sunnier for longer on my balcony (which faces South) than it is on the street. So if you're staying in a hotel on a higher floor, you can't go by how it feels out the window. You have to try it out on the street to really know how it's going to feel.

What sort of hat are you bringing? It needs to stay on your head pretty well. It's sometimes very windy between buildings, etc.

Oh and don't forget to bring sensible shoes :wink:

Dag,

Yes for the food at my place. Since it will be afternoon, I'll have good snacks. These snacks can and often do turn into a complete meal. Or at least, after snacking, I often feel completely full. I always over estimate how much we need. So come hungry.

I just walked home from 52nd and 9th avenue...holy ****, ehbeth, I hope you get a night like this when you are here. It was misty, foggy, and unbelievably beautiful tonight. Walking home was just amazing. I think the word "wow" was invented for the way this city looks on a night like this.

I can't even express how blown away I am by the beauty of this city sometimes. It amazes me that concrete blocks, cement sidewalks, and granite buildings can be so beautiful. How the hell could that be? But it is...it just is.

Damn, I am truly going to miss this city when I leave...


Wow...that is the way I talk about the city. (Joe gets tired of hearing me rave about it.)

Glad to see you are on that wavelength, K.

I have been trying to hem my new black linen pants today. I wanted to wear them saturday. I think I'll be wearing jeans, as usual. Dag is trying to talk me out of the sensible (but sort of ugly) shoes which I always wear.

These pictures don't do it justice (plus my digital camera doesn't take the best pictures at night), but...

Somewhere around 54th Street, looking down 7th Avenue towards Times Square in the distance...I know, it's blurry, but I'm not a professional photographer, dammit!

And here's one from around 54th or 55th, on Fifth Avenue...this is across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Well, Lola said 'afternoon' which could mean anytime between noon and 5pm. I may be a stickler for details, sometimes, but I think we need a few.

We'll be rolling into town at around 1pm, thinks I. We can etither go downtown and do some touristy thing, and then to Lola's, or vice versa. either 1pm or like 7pm would work. inbetween would be a bit difficult, but we'll do whatever everyone else does.
