Blog? What Blog?
Ok, kids, I'm back. Did you miss me? I've wanted to write for quite some time, but I either didn't have the time, or I didn't have the energy due to not having time earlier. Or I was stuck down a well with Emmanuel Lewis. Take your pick.
I know that I promised Scotland pictures to all of you who are still reading this, but it'll have to wait a bit - it takes a long ass time to post those photo journal things and I just don't have it in me right now. So you'll have to settle for this, or for a queued post I've been saving about Islamic Banking Laws. Yes, I'm serious.
So I went to New York again. My company has an office there, so I got to work from there for a few days, which was nice. It's in Rockefeller Center, right across the street from St. Patrick's Cathedral.
This was the view from my office:
I wandered around the city a bit:
And then I sang "The Humpty Dance" at karaoke:
The next day started with an exuberant trip to the DONUT FACTORY, where they have the best donuts on the planet. The coconut creme donut is particularly good. In fact, a source who shall remain anonymous described them as having a "heavenly layer of wetness" in them. And that pretty much sums up the experience. We followed that immediately by having the best pizza in the world, at Lombardy's. They have one of the last coal-fired ovens in town, and it really does make a difference. Best pizza + pitcher of sangria + good conversation = a representative sample of what the whole week was like.
Except for the part where I lost my luggage. That wasn't so good.

I LOVE the picture of the Cathedral. When I visited NYC back in 2000, I got to see the Cathedral. It is beautiful. Lombardy's...I have to agree...the best pizza!! Yum!
Thanks for the nice pictures. It brought back some great memories.
Correction: It was the Doughnut Plant, not factory! And the Banana Cream was to die for.
Glorious! It's been too long since I've been there.
Love the vocal shot as well.
