New York
I've been quite remiss in posting this week. On Sunday, I flew to Long Island and then drove into Manhattan. It was my first visit to New York City, and I look forward to coming back again and seeing more.
I rode up the two elevators to get to the observation tower on the Empire State Building. That is one beautiful Art Deco building.
And driving in Manhattan was - interesting to say the least. I found myself swerving and racing in between doubleparked cars and keeping up with the taxis. It was wild. I've never seen anything like it before. I even saw a car full of clowns.
I was disappointed to see how much trash is in the streets, though. Everyone puts their trash out on the sidewalks, and no one seems to care if the trash bags break open and crap flies all around.
I took pictures and I probably won't get around to downloading them until I'm home.
I'm working at Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center this week. The building is very interesting. It looks like something out of the future. Actually, it reminds me of the old Woody Allen movie, Sleeper. Remember when Woody Allen was funny? Of course, it's probably been 25 years since he was funny. I'm just showing my age, I guess.
I need to do some work now.

Mental note:
"Do not drive in NYC when Beth is driving"

Well no, but I do remember when he used to appear on the Tonight Show with Jack Paar.

Wait a minute. Was it just that everyone in the car a clown, or was it in fact clownfull, to the point that one would suspect, when they started piling out, that they had parked over a trapdoor?
