New Yawk

Here I am in New York for a blogging conference. You may recall that last July I attended BlogHer in San Jose. This is BlogHer Business. (I manage a corporate blog for a living. I know, I know, so weird.)

Here is the JFK control tower, featured in many a Seinfeld episode. The architectural firm where my dad worked for 40 years designed it, I am 98% sure.

In the cab from JFK to Manhattan, we passed Shea Stadium, home of the '86 Mets who ruined my life for a time back when I was a huge Sox fan. We also passed this craziness:

When I asked, the cabbie said this is a park where people come to have fun, barbeque and see New York. When I told mosugs about it, she said that's where the World's Fair was. Her explanation made much more sense! She also explained that this site is featured in the blockbuster film Men in Black.

I am staying catty-corner from Madison Square Garden in the fashion or garment district. My hotel is very old school and has a kitchenette with stove, full-size fridge, many cupboards, and microwave. Another weird thing is that the TV does not point to the bed, and it's not on a swivelling platform. It essentially points at the door.

Earlier I saw a miniature schnauzer out on the street and I thought of my sweet Sally snoozing away at home.

That's all I have to say for now.
