Welcome Back

In the future, I will think twice about taking a red-eye flight then working on the same day. I did not anticipate that I would not go into deep sleep automatically due to in-flight snacks and entertainment courtesy of DirectTV (which featured Moulin Rouge, Princess Bride and Sound of Music). I've been lulling in and out of deep sleep throughout the day which has been really weird.

Perhaps a little confused by sleep deprivation, I actually had the urge to have sex during lunch break -- which I did -- courtesy of craigslist. While heading for my clandestine encounter, I was thinking about how all these public services have countributed to the well-being of my sex life. Craigslist and Yahoo Personals have definitely been instrumental in a few booty calls, as well as the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. I had to go all the way to the Lower East Side, and if not for the great and intense session, it would have been horrific due to the heat in the subway stations.

The bright side of arriving in New York early in the morning however was that I got to see all the early risers from Long Island as we headed for Penn Station. I got a rare glimpse of the working class folk in the city which I have forgotten existed, or at least thought was entirely Mexican. Are those guys Italian? Yummy!

So I'm back in New York. It's hot. And there are cops all over the place. What have they been doing to this city while I was away?
