Since I arrived in NYC many friends have asked, "could you live there?" And the answer is...

First, today was filled with a return trip to Macy's in Herald Square. Visited eight of the nine floors and stopped for a refreshing drink at the McDonald's on level seven. You can put a McDonald's pretty much anywhere and guess what? It's a McDonalds.

Spent the evening shopping like a tourist in Times Square. One can own only so many Statue of Liberty tchotchkes, but what the heck. I picked up an Empire State Building, too.

Lunch was a tasty tasty burger at Shake Shack. I skipped the shake but had an Arnold Palmer and a double cheeseburger. Two thumbs up. Waited in line a good 15 minutes, but the time was well worth the taste.

Because I have a great former student who works in NYC I will be attending the Blake "Don't Call Me Keith" Shelton concert in the Today Show plaza tomorrow a.m. I slept until almost 10 a.m. today, 5 a.m. tomorrow will be quite a thrill!

So, could I live in NYC? Absolutely! More to come.
