I'm tired and should have been asleep an hour ago, so this is brief...

I'm in NYC (suburban Long Island at the moment) on business. I arrived yesterday, taking connecting trains from Newark airport via Penn Station in order to avoid driving a car through the city.

I cleaned up, went back into the city and had a lovely time with EA at "The Cajun" restaurant, where there was a jazz band playing 20s and 30s music... she has a crush on one of the members... it was all frubbly watching her gaze at him playing. Then a midnight train back here. After being up until 3:30, I was up at 7 and in a marathon meeting at Grumman that ran from 8am to 7pm without even breaking for lunch. Then a group dinner until after 9pm. Then I worked out in the hotel health club... managed to offend a sweetie, and was amazed by things going on with

patgreene (who also got a clean bill of health today -- yay!).

Tomorrow -- meetings resume at 7:30am. Later I should rejoin EA for the rest of the day, staying over there and leaving for home in the morning. I may become a "bagel mule" for
