The Big Apple

Looking from Brooklyn's Sunset Park at dusk with the Manhattan skyline in the background. The big building with the light bulb on top is the brand new "Freedom Tower" that rose from the ashes of the September 11th terrorist attacks.

Crossing the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, two drivers in front of us at the toll booth got into a verbal altercation, New Jersey style. Luckily, it did not come to fisticuffs. Also, my dad was thinking about phoning the New Jersey governor's office for a bridge traffic update (ha ha). Dad says that we should forgive all of New Jersey's sins because the state produced Bruce Springsteen.

The sheer human energy in NYC is incredible. This city is crazy... and that's a compliment.
