But I’m not leaving today; I’m actually back from New York a week now and finally feel recovered.

I do find the website a more suitable medium than the blog for posting the photos and commentary; you can see that here:

The week before going, I put together a playlist of songs about New York—New York State of Mind, First We Take Manhattan, New York City, New York Conversation, America (“Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike”), An American Tune, Last Chance on the Stairway (“45! ‘Tween Fifth and Broadway”), Chinatown, and so on. Course, then my brain was plagued by these songs the whole weekend. Mind you, that probably would have happened anyway.
