The first day of a two week stay in NY. I just got to my hotel and the fun has already begun. WAMU didn’t allow my credit card transaction so I am have to call them first thing in the morning.
After getting the hotel to let me stay for one night I was given a room on the 57th floor. This is a great view. Directly across from me is another hotel with the lights of times square reflecting off of it’s windows.
When I look out to the right I have a view of Manhattan and a river. (Not sure which one. Pics forthcoming)
To my left and looking down I have a view of more of Times Square. A bigger den of scum and villainy blah, blah, blah.
The 4th of July is coming up. I am looking forward to being in the city for it. The fireworks are always spectacular on TV and I am sure that they will be live as well. (We’ll do it live!)
I just ordered room service and they have pepsi products but no Mountain Dew, and no Coke products so I cannot have a Coke instead…. :: Sigh :: The guy is going to see if he can find me a Coke though.
There is a big building with a sign across the way that says “McGraw-Hill.” I wonder if it is the same company that makes so many of the text books that I have used over the years.
There is a balloon floating up off in the distance. There must be a gnarly downdraft because it just dropped about 500 feet in 2 seconds.
