New York, New York...

I just got back from a very cool trip to the Big Apple, and I had a lot of fun, Checked out a lot of Architecture and Museums, and Architecture of Museums.

I also had the wonderful opportunity to see two Broadway shows, Wicked and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, and see an amazing Jazz concert put on by an 87 year old piano player (I hope I am that nimble-fingered when I get to that age).

I also saw the Yankees and the Mets play, walked through central park (the fact that it is entirely man-made blows my mind) and saw the offices of the big two comic book companies...Yes, it was much like a pilgrimage to my own personal Mecca, If only the Skywalker ranch was there, the circle would have been complete. Also saw the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and visited scenic Hoboken, NJ, which is actually a pretty nice place.

The best part of the trip though was getting to hang out with my cousin, who despite growing up thousands of miles away, and not seeing each other hardly ever, we have an incredible amount in common, as well as seeing an old coworker of mine who is doing very well for himself, and is still the same low-key nice guy he was when he was broke.

It's nice to see that money doesn't change everybody.
