A New York Minute
Heading into Week 2 in the Big City of New York City, in the State of New York. This is definitely one of those once in a lifetime experiences for me. I can feel it. But I can also feel that it feels so normal to me somehow - like I'm at home in New York City... is that retarded or what?
I could never afford it here in trillions of years. That and I am fortunate to be dwelling in Midtown Manhattan. Chelsea is a good area. It's got similarities to Belltown in Seattle. So far I have seen and done so much.
I have gone to a couple museums. I went to Elis and Liberty Islands, saw the Statue of liberty, went up in the Empire State building... walked through Central Park, Ran through Central Park. Saw the Museum of Natural Sciences here. Enjoyed Elis' Island's Immigration Museum.
I have walked all over Manhattan. Thrice over. I shopped on Canal Street and in Chinatown. I have learned the ways of the Subways and even been mistaken for a local several times now. Folks have asked ME for directions, and I have been able to accurately provide.
Had heroes in little Manhattan Delis, ate at fast food joints ... seen Rockefeller center. What else what else? So very much. I made bus terminal friends while trying to hit a Greyhound to Philadelphia. The snow impeded my date to meet up with a long time friend who now schools at PennState.
I even made a Museum friend while browsing the Museum of Natural Resources. Had a 3 hour friend.
I can't describe it, but the flavor of it here I instantly fell in love with.
The New York minute concept behooves me. The crowds don't bother me like they do in some areas at home.
And yet end of this week; Friday... I will be ready to come home to my 3 boys. I miss them greatly. And no doubt vise versa.
Today I was happy to get my run in at Central Park. That made my day.
