Dis Is New Yawk. We Don't Care About No &%#@!* Snow.

.
Brian On 8th Avenus


So the snow has ended. The Crowe - Wilson family went crazy and hired a minibus to take us to dinner in Manhattan at Guantanamera, a Cuban restaurant near Columbus Circle. The owner is Argentine, not Cuban, and from Mendoza. We had a long talk about Argentine wines. Not being one who sits still easily, I met Brian and his friends from Boston out front between courses. The group below were hanging out at the bar when we were waiting to be seated.

I haven't lived in the NYC full time for 43 years but on nights like yesterday I sure wish I still did. There is nothing like it on earth. Visits make me so so homesick. I love it. It's the modern capital of civilization and the origin of me.

Quite right. You're making even me homesick. Last visit 2002. A century ago.

You've captured the atmosphere of this most amazing city so wonderfully over your last few posts. I agree with all you've said about New York. Just ADORE New York City.

Hyperbole is permissible at this time of the year, Bob. Sure looks like the corner may have turned. Enjoy NYE in your little crucible.

Such a positive attitude in the midst of this snowy messy aftermath! We need more New Yorkers like you. :)
