... next school a mile up the street. And repeat the above steps.<br><br>Fortunately, the second school's set up wasn't as bad. The stage was bigger, and we had an angel sent from God to come help us unload the van, and actually help us tear down and load it again afterward. Charlie's his name. He was a lot more helpful than the ladies at the first school who would stand at the doors we were struggling to lug our equipment through one piece at a time. "Hard ...

... get on it. All the three kids rode the starship. I was scared for Aly on that ride but she seems to be enjoying it. DH made some phone calls and found out that the rest of the troop is not coming because of the rain. We saw Abi's GS leader's kids in the park. We decided to just do Aly's ride tonight. Abi was sport enough to accompany Aly in all the kiddie rides. The roller coaster really looks fun so I sent DH and AC there. The scrambler ride was scarier than I ...

... our squirrels, eh." Laughter. So, after all that, all Caroline got was a bandaid, a crushed ego and a huge bill making it's way to Australia as we speak. And that was the Squirrel Incident of New Year's Eve 2008. It was snowing heavily when Caroline joined the rest of the family (who had already been to the Guggenheim) at the Met. They inspected her bandaid, laughed at the Doctor Dumbo story and ...

... itself to Queens is... of Costco, but at least certain members of my family would be just as thrilled. Most of what we have done so far is eat at hip, delicous restaurants and drink coffee (and write my final) but Lisa also gave me a grand tour of her fancy law firm (whoooaaa its a far cry from Juvie) and today - - - - - WE SAW ALVIN AILEY!! I have seen them like 10 times but they are still my favorite dance ...

... it to catch a glimpse of a man walking around central park with a cat on his head on the way home! Yesterday, I really didn't do anything much at all, the lack of sleep really caught up with me and I thought I'd better catch up before I actually have to do something on Monday when I start at the hospital. I did go out briefly and I was planning on going to a free concert but the rain emptied down again and it put me off after the night before. Instead I ordered pizza online (its very ...

... while I was investing in the stock market. Looking back over all those years, I think I have lost much, and earned little. Maybe I should look outside my cocoon, my protective shell. Perhaps I should go and take a walk outside my shell. Maybe I should do something I love, for a change, for myself, outside protocols, alone, like a fluttering butterfly, alive for a while. Maybe I should volunteer shram daan [serve the community, as espoused by Gandhi]. Give some, to get something real.

... Empire State building. I was determined this time to actually SEE the city and met its people and not just see it from a double decker red tourist bus surrounded by other tourists. I was on a mission to see the real New York and its people! In order to do this l have spent the last three and a half days walking what feels like the whole of Manhattan itself! And of course catching the famous and notorious NY underground subway. I began on Sunday afternoon by walking around Midtown from ...

... You get a really great view of the statue from the boat. You where previously able to go right to the top of her crown (head), but since 9/11 this has been stopped. The statue was orginally copper in colour, but due to air exposer, it has changed to a greenish colour. Next Stop.. NYC Bus Sightseeing: Uptown Loop Looked at the Broucher, and there was no sights that screamed out "Stop At Me", however it was important to do ...
