It's been go-go-go since my last entry. Two Broadway shows, the Fourth of July and a whole lot more. I'm worn out, and only half way through my time here. At left you'll notice a bunch of photos I have uploaded. The majority of these photos are from Central Park, Times Square and a Staten Island Ferry ride. Now on to business.

Today was much more family-oriented, though most of the families I noticed where not from this country. Good to see people from around the world helping us celebrate our independence. I even had shepherds pie for lunch, a tip of the hat to the British.

Times Square at night continues to be a dazzling treat for the eyes I can't seem to tire of. Though I am trying very hard not to be perceived as a tourist, the bright lights of Times Square bring out the worst in me.
Saw both "Memphis" and "Priscilla Queen of the Desert" this weekend. Thumbs up to both, though both very different. I imagine I'll add another show or two to the list before I return to Indy.
Lots to do this week. Harlem is on the schedule soon. More to come.
