New York!

What a great trip!  I am just recording the list of some of the things we did so I can remember highlights for future musings. The trip seemed full of synchronicity, like watching the film Birdman and then just three hours later watching a trio at the Edison Hotel, in the very same bar that was in the movie. Did a lot of walking, recording triple the steps of my normal routine. Little sleep, running on adrenaline, hardly stopping for meals. I am looking forward to my own pillow tonight.
