For a second I thought this was from Gene.

It should be a good day for golfers.

DED yes. 😂

Yesterday drove from NY to NC. Once again, NY and NJ blew chunks. Today drove from NC to FL, easy breezy.

Spent some time with my sister and her family, visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, then went to RI for a one night stay. Took the ferry from Long Island to New London and back. Drove by the old neighborhood... not much is different... and ate some local food.

Took back some Iggy's clam cake mix with me.

Welcome back.

Happy all went well.

Sounds like a nice trip Macs

Years ago, went to visit a friend in Jersey via driving from MA to New Brunswick. The trek from MA to Jersey should only be like a 4 hr drive but it felt like 24 hrs (I didn't plan it right and hit stop and go traffic on the Jersey Turnpike). Hated it. Franking driving through Jersey sucks donkey d!cks

A few years later visited I a friend in NYC. This time I took the commuter train out of Hartford into Grand Central Station so I didn't have to deal with traffic into the city.

It was an awesome experience for a Midwestern boy. I don't remember much of the details when I was there (the city never sleeps and we were probably legally drunk for 72 hours straight with maybe 8 hrs passed out time mixed in here and there) but we had a blast. I do remember going all the way to the top of the Empire State Building observatory... awesome view. I then wanted to go to the top of the Chrysler Building and pet one of the gargoyles. Didn't happen.

Ate at some nice places, saw some nice tourist stuff, hailed a cab a few times while bar hopping (an experience on its own)... riding the subway in NY and forgetting when to get off and then trying to to get back to home base was another adventure all on it's own.

One thing is tattooed to my brain is the the stench of the city and the constant crowds of people. That reinforced my lack of desire to live in a big city.
