COME ONE, COME ALL.




It's the weekend. It's 85 degrees. It has been the coldest, longest, snowiest, winter in New York I have ever seen. This just happens to be the perfect formula for a day in the park......with 8 million of your closest friends. No one likes to defrost alone.

I'm not sure what Central Parks maximum occupancy is..but it was hovering pretty dang close to a fire hazard today. It was sort of like there was this party in the park and everyone was invited and everyone decided to come.

Today was the perfect opportunity to meet everyone of your Manhattan neighbors.

Here is the good news...if you missed today word on the street is there is another party tomorrow. See ya'll there.

P.S. It's BYOCS. (Bring your own cell service)

The Germans are coming

Things I've learned from the Germans who are visiting us in New York

"we love the American food"

"we love the barbeque the meat the portions and the ranch dressings."

"we love the ben and jerrys"

They will watch 4 hours of "cooking channel" (food network) but not one frame of Gossip Girl. They also think the word gossip stands for Gospal and missy elliot sang Gospal music in "gossip folks"

After explaining that I had jury duty on Thursday they asked me "if I had signed up for this because I had seen the crime."

They think Tivo is magic and I can fast forward live Events while they are happening in real time.

When we take a cab they press every single tab on the taxi tv screen repeatedly until we reach our destination.

We went to ground zero and they asked if the freedom tower would have rental apartments available.

More later...

The Germans are coming

Gate 9 and 10

Gate 8


Family in Queens turns on sprinkler, every flight at LGA cancelled

I'm living in a third world country. Today due to low ceiling my flight to Memphis was delayed by 8 hours and eventually canceled.

Yes, it's frustrating but LGA holds the guiness book of world records on flight delays followed closely by JFK and Newark. It's incredible. Not sure but that's probably not a distingush you are looking for. Who does these airports PR? what exactly is there to brag about.

"New York city is full of museums. Including the airport!"

People have actually fossilized while waiting to depart.

My favorite part is that my gate was number 8. I looked around and around and realized there is no gate number 8.

But not to worry a piece of notebook paper had gate 8 written in magic marker to relieve the lost flyers. Thank you LGA.

To all those headed out to Detroit making up the vast majority of stranded flyers today.... Hope you at least get a "all my friends went to the final four and all I got was this t -shirt because I was stuck at la guardia." shirt.
