Hi there, welcome to my non-blog site.  I'm not sure what I will use it for, but better to be prepared than...well, not prepared. :)  Okay, drumroll please...this is me!  It wouldn't show up on Blogger, so I hope it will here. I'll be back later to...ah...do whatever it is that you do to free websites.

Various and assorted black and white pictures of my New York trip.  First up: The Chrysler Building. (::sings Annie:: "Till it shiiiiines, like the top of the Chrys-ler Build-ing!")

The Plaza.  Which, all in all, can be summed up in one word: Gaudy.  The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that there were clashing patterns EVERYWHERE.  I never imagined you could have so many fighting colors in one lobby.  Pastel flower arrangement, Oriental rug, striped wallpaper.  The outside is much more attractive.

I love this next one.  I cannot remember which building it is, but I practically laid down on the sidewalk to get the flag in it.

The next one is the market on 57th that I simply fell in love with.  I went there with Cassie nearly everynight to get pretzels, cream cheese, and six-packs of coke.  (They didn't sell it in twelve.)

This was also a favorite picture.  This man was standing on this bridge in Central Park looking at a Polaroid picture he had in his hands.  He looked very sad.  He looked young...

Me and Alex before we left for the cruise.  Very blurry, thanks to a cheap photo editor.

Me and Cassie at Planet Hollywood near Times Square...that little dude is just too cute - we had to take a picture with him.  But like most guys, you can't tell until you look real close that he's got a hole the size of a beach ball in the top of his head.  I think he used to be a straw holder.

Me, the tourist.  I love this picture...and looking out into the harbor from Liberty Island was amazing.  Not to mention Fleet Week, so there were a substantial amount of ships out there.
