First time I've been near a computer for nearly a week. At the Waldorf rate of 80c plus tax per MINUTE, or nearly $50 an hour, this will be pretty brief. Thanks to shareholder for an expert fast tour of The Metropolitan Art Gallery, and a great evening at Idlewild Friday, meeting many FT'ers in person for the first time, and cabbed a rather "tired and emotional" MrLimo back to Hilton about 2am!

GREAT van tour with Echelon .. many thanks from us both for a great local tour, and a perfectly selected lunch stop at Katz's Deli. and then walking onto the Staten Island Ferry bumped into Tom911 and Goldlust and Kempis yesterday morning.

A few quiet drinks in our suite at the Waldorf yesterday lunchtime before a planned trip to the Museum Of Natural History with Punki and Joe turned 6 hours later into dinner at Carnegie Deli with Punki along with Doc and wife and young son, and somehow 5 bottles of champagne and about a liter of Scotch joined the Waldorf party during the afternoon. Joe and Joh can relate their own version of events to protect the innocent. A few aching heads the next day is all I will say.
