Victor's Cafe in New York City

Snowy and windy day in New York City (Forrest Hills).


We ate Atuthentic Cuban food at Victor's Cafe in Times Square. We both had delicious steaks. I had the $10 churros for dessert.


After dinner we went to a dress rehearsal of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with James Earl Jones as Big Daddy. The acting was great. The set and lighting could have been better.

Central Park Foliage

Central Park fall foliage. The park was absolutely beautiful. Most of the leaves in the park were yellow. Pictures never do justice, but hopefully this will give you a sense of what it's like.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2007

We barely made our 4:40 am (yes, that time is correct). We ran from the car and jumped on the train with about a minute to spare. We had to buy our tickets on the train which cost $5 more. After running we were wide awake... but that didn't last long.

Valerie getting her site lines ready for the parade. We arrived in NYC around 6 am. The parade didn't start until 9 am, but we had to get there early to get a good spot. By the time we got there, people were about 3 deep from the street. We settled for sitting on top of a wall at 65th and Central Park West. We had a great view of the balloons, but not the band or the acts on the ground.

The Macy's star ballons. The crowd swelled as the parade started. The weather was perfect. 60 degrees, blue skies and no wind.


Abby Cadabby. A new balloon this year.

Super Cute Hello Kitty. I didn't realize how big of a head Hello Kitty had.

Snoopy.

Shrek (new)

Shakespeare's Cymbeline at the Beaumont

Went down to New York to see Shakespeare's Cymbeline. I enjoyed the play, the costumes and the set. Took us about 1 hr and 45 mins to get there. Filled up before driving and a gallon of gas was $3.19!!!
Mobil Station on State Street.

Stuck in traffic around this area for about 1/2 hour. Going south on 9A.

Roadtrip to Rochester, NY and Jessica's wedding

Valerie and I drove 6 hours to Rochester, NY for Jessica's wedding. It was a lovely ceremony in the Strasenburgh Planetarium. Before the wedding, we were showing the stars in the sky and what constellations they formed. It was pretty cool.
