Cream Of The Crop
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010As I sit here this morning high up on the 38th floor, I look out my window at New York City, 5:30 AM, just barely coming awake – the city that never sleeps. From my perch here high up over the city I have a spectacular view all the way south from 42nd street to the Statue of Liberty and beyond New York Harbor to Staten Island. If you’re gonna live in NYC, live above it all if at all possible.
I’ve been fortunate. I’ve watched the city grow and change from this perch for over 25 years. I love NY. It’s been a lifetime sittin’ on top of the world watchin’ 10 million people go by, but I’d leave now if I could. 40 years of concrete and glass can wear you out on certain levels and sometimes the Missus and I just want to take a walk in the woods.
But I can’t leave this wondrous city – at least not yet. Most of it I’ve seen now and certainly experienced, but there’s one thing that still keeps me here. (more…)
