All of this left me prepared for my trip to NYC on Friday November 19 for a
meeting at the Sloan Foundation. After the meeting, I met Suzanne and
we walked until time was running out and then caught a subway to the FCiA
where this collection sign
prepared us for our meeting with Michael D. Murphy
who told us about his website http://www.michaeldmurphy.com/ , served us
well and encouraged us to enjoy the meal. The table was set
to enjoy the bread
and my soup
as Suzanne had a nice appetizer
before her lamb
and my veggie dinner in darkness
and in light
appeared to be followed by salads
and the scene of glasses on the table
because Michael gave us a choice of wines. Suzanne's tiramisu
and my creme brulee
complemented the dinner as I took a picture of our neighbors
and Michael took this picture of us
before we began the trek back to our hotel.
Along the way, we passed shoe stores
and fresh fruit
and these cosmetics
before coming across more shoes
and dresses
with inspirational thought
as we discovered more show stores in the village

Marching on past shoes
and Anthropolgie
and more shoes
we finally gave to the windows at Lord and Taylor
with explanation of Boston life
in view
and life on the Mississippi
and these scenes
of the Rockies
and these
of Nebraska
and finally these
from the Big Apple itself
before one last window
bade our farewell to Lord and Taylor
and we marched into Rockefeller Center
where these people
were taking a picture before the skaters
and carriages
and this star
with its story
that would eventually go on top of the tree. We went past the NYFD store
and caught a picture of Radio City Music Hall
before going back to the hotel for the night.
