Things You Shouldn't Do In New York

Coming home from Union Square is usually a layup: take the N/R/Q/W from Union Square to 42nd St./Times Square and then transfer to the uptown 1/9/2/3. Piece of pie.

However.... a few nights ago, coming back uptown from Union Square after a rather enjoyable evening out, I managed to get myself so lost in thought that I managed to completely miss the Times Square stop.

Which then meant I had two choices: get out at 49th street and walk over to the 50th street stop on the 1/9 (and blow another train fare), or I could continue uptown on the R, get off and the next station where I could cross over, and take the next train back down to Times Square.

Of course, if I took the latter course of action, there was always the possibility that I'd miss the station again, this time going downtown....

Yeah, that's what a little birdie told me the other day. ;-)

A rather articulate and kinda cute birdie, now that I think about it...

I really like the new website look. The revolving picture gallery is particularly nice.

Thanks. The design is actually mostly the handiwork of Michelle Foster.

She doesn't like my font selection, though...

well let's say it's growing on me.

and paul you should be adding more pictures...you bought a digital camera to take pictures right?

True, but taking pictures would require actually leaving the apartment.

The horror, the horror...
