Howdy Spaceboy,
Just got your posting to my homepage, thought I might swagger on down to yours, to find YOU LIVE IN NYC!
*Pants raggedly, clutching at chest*
I visited the capital of the world (yeah, you're right) a few weeks ago for two (count dem, TWO) days, and am already applying for the green card lottery. Unfortunately, me awld pardner is no so keen on a move right now, so had to scrap plans.
Anyhoo, great home page, wish mine had cool graphics, but I will get around to that when my time IRL spares me.
*clicks ruby red heels together three times*
There's no place like ho...

Oh! I was so sure I replied to you days ago!
My apologies Tashalls...
But yes, NYC is a wonderful place, and everyone should visit for much more than three days, since three years is hardly enough to see it all... mostly because by the time you get and eighth of it down pat, it's all changed again... but that's the beauty, huh?
(by the way, you spiffed up your page something grand...)

Why thank you kind sir...
I notice you got to do the weekend visit to Chicago - must be fun to nip down to places like that at a moment's notice. I am DYING to do some more travel, but unfortunately I have to do the grown-up thing with hubby and move into our new house.
So, mortgaged for a few years, alas my travel has to be virtual.
So, torture me with more news of NYC - which neighbourhood do you live in, where do you frequent (apart from h2g2!)
Talk soon
Tashalls
PS - when things die down after this move IRL, I promise to be more diligent in posting to other people's sites. Now I just have time to dash through my recent correspondences to keep them up to date.

Well, I live in Astoria (in Queens)... Which happens to be the largest Greek community outside of Athens... Not being Greek, this is both interesting and disturbing (for example: great food, but sometimes can't read the menu).
I work in midtown, on the east side (not far from the United Nations, the site of my last job). I really like the happy hour crowd around here.. fun young people with money to spend But downtown is a lot of fun as well. Not much of a club kid... just too much effort. I prefer the dives, a place with a good jukebox, darts maybe, and good beer
I try to go to shows a lot... so many good bands are always playing... it's a bit overwhelming. I always feel guilty if I just stay at home (although it would be much nicer to my wallet if I did)
But I haven't gotten to chicago yet... in a few weeks (had to schedule around baseball games ) I'm sure you'll get a full report...
