One of the first things I wanted to do once I arrived in the Big Apple was to master a walk that let others know I wasn't just some tourist gawking at everything I saw, but rather a person who belonged in the big city. After a day-and-a-half the mission has been accomplished.
More than just the walk, I have also mastered the art of ignoring the traffic signal's walking man and when traffic stops coming, you move. And after my walk last night from 40th to 23rd and back, I only once was a bit too premature in my crossing. Oops.
That walk last night took me to the Gotham Comedy Club where I watched my former student, Max Newman, perform at the club's new talent showcase. He was by far one of the funniest of what seemed like a never-ending stream of would-be comics, interrupted by a surprise set from Bob and Tom/Comedy Central regular Jim Gaffigan. Fun evening for sure.
The trouble with all this walking? I'm sore. More to come.
