A few days later, I went to New York for the Sloan meeting and stayed in this room and said good bye to the Today Show people who were live around the corner before heading to the meeting.

After the meeting, We went to dinner at A Voce where this was my appetizer and those of the others before my main course and everyone else's came so that Ed Sarah Suzanne and I could enjoy our dinner and then the coffee that needed this sugar before we dug into dessert and then went out and braved the cold making our way to Reed Elsevier and in past the journals through the corridor to Sarah's cubicle with its decorations and the new calendars and we admired her neighbors before heading out into the streets to enjoy the Xmas windows at Lord and Taylor as we had the year before

with a small break for the Salvation Army man and then back to windows

before we headed to the Algonquin in the correct bar and then were back out to Saks Fifth Avenue to see their windows

with a distant view of THE tree and then the final windows before we made our way to the tree as Suzanne got ready to admire the skaters.
