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
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1448
prepared us for our meeting with Michael D. Murphy
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1449
who told us about his website http://www.michaeldmurphy.com/ , served us
well and encouraged us to enjoy the meal. The table was set
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1450
to enjoy the bread
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1451
and my soup
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1452
as Suzanne had a nice appetizer
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1453
before her lamb
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1454
and my veggie dinner in darkness
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1455
and in light
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1456
appeared to be followed by salads
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1457
and the scene of glasses on the table
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1458
because Michael gave us a choice of wines. Suzanne's tiramisu
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1459
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1460
and my creme brulee
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1461
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1462
complemented the dinner as I took a picture of our neighbors
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1463
and Michael took this picture of us
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1464
before we began the trek back to our hotel.
Along the way, we passed shoe stores
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1465
and fresh fruit
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1466
and these cosmetics
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1467
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1468
before coming across more shoes
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1469
and dresses
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1470
with inspirational thought
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1471
as we discovered more show stores in the village
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1472
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1473
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1474
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1475
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1476
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1477
before finding this hand
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1478
that might be used to hit this punching bag
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1479
even as we discovered that the movie theater
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1480
was sold out so that we couldn't see Sideways.
Marching on past shoes
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1481
and Anthropolgie
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1482
and more shoes
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1483
we finally gave to the windows at Lord and Taylor
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1484
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1485
with explanation of Boston life
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1486
in view
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1487
and life on the Mississippi
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1488
and these scenes
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1489
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1490
of the Rockies
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1491
and these
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1492
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1493
of Nebraska
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1494
and finally these
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1495
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1496
from the Big Apple itself
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1497
before one last window
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1498
bade our farewell to Lord and Taylor
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1499
and we marched into Rockefeller Center
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1500
where these people
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1501
were taking a picture before the skaters
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1502
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1503
and carriages
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1504
and this star
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1505
with its story
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1506
that would eventually go on top of the tree. We went past the NYFD store
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1507
and caught a picture of Radio City Music Hall
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1508
../../../Sabbat/2004/11.09-20.04PeopleAndNYC//IMG_1509
before going back to the hotel for the night.
