NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

could not get this shot larger..i am working on it ..."loose lucy" crew in nYC at ollie chinsese resturant



hello all ...happy monday morning......

michele,jason and ayelet set up the trade show on saturday in nyc and i went in to meet the "loose lucy's" crew for lunch...took the train in not realizing there was a ranger game about to start ...my quiet train ride was filled with hectic fans ...cell phone talkers and i even saw a 1/2 eaten slice of pizza on the seat in front of me...( i was a little hungry but alas i did pass on it)......

the friends i was going to meet mean alot to me and are the greatest people to hang with..conversations are usually about music which is our common thread....but and i mean but they had been amazing to me (as you all have been) from the moment i was diagnosed till the present time and as i i was floating through the crowds to see them....i knew the trip would be worth it ......i was just looking at the faces of the crowds of people every where... so many people looked unhappy to me and that made me want to shake them and say.......wakes up...YOUR IN THE GREATEST CITY IN THE WORLD.... I even had someone ask if i wanted to take a picture with a person in a giant apple suit..did i look like a tourist to them.....ughhhhhh ....this is my backyard .........i worked in the city when i was 15 years old running stationary to the big wigs on wall street after school.....although i was tempted to take that picture and post it ...would have been hilarious i declined a golden opportunity......

lunch was awesome ...company was better and michele and jason picked me up on the corner of 34th and 7th for the ride back to my bed..where i have remained every since...seems like the trip took it's toll....but i would not have changed it for the world.....thanks...susan,mike,steph,jason.missy (britt.. mia)jennifer and don...for a wonderful moment in my ride to the cure.........
