New York, New York

• Busy streets
• Taxis
• Central Park
• Watching the Macy Parade on Thanksgiving.
• Pauline and Ed Fitzgerald.
• The George Washington Bridge, it's so damn  expensive to cross.  I think it is &15 now.
• The Lincoln tunnel: every time I drive through it, I worry that a tile will pop out and flood the  the tunnel and I was drowned to death.
• Taking the mega bus from New York to Philadelphia is so convenient and reasonable.
• The Pyramid Club is the shit hole that cost $5 to get in and PBR beer is only $2 a cup. It's the only reasonably priced venue in the whole damn city. But, it is a shithole.
• Statue of Liberty
• Taking a patient for cancer treatment at the Atkins Institute. These treatments were not covered under his medical insurance and so he had to stop treatments and die so that he had enough money for his wife with Alzheimer's to live. Nobody in this country should have to make that decision. What's wrong with us.
• Chestnuts roasting  on an open fire
• When I am with my German friends in Manhattan we walk all damn day. We take over 13,000 steps every single day we are there and then I ache and ache and ache and ache. I can't keep up with them.
