I spent the past week in and around NYC and the hotel I was staying at had internet problems. Actually Verizon (for those of you in the US) had the problem but had not corrected it even at the time of my departure this morning. I was, therefore, without internet access since this past Sunday and, though there were brief moments (actually more like half moments) in time when I was able to get on, I was essentially absent since then.
Now I will try to catch-up, if possible, over the next week before I travel again to New Haven to visit one of my closest friends at Yale.
I will say, though, that apart from the inconvenience of being cut off from the virtual world, I have been enjoying being behind the wheel of a car again. That is something I have avoided in Turkey for obvious reasons to those who have been in Istanbul traffic at least once in their lives.
And now to The Reader.

Welcome back!
Thanks, Robert. It does feel good to be on this soil again, even if for a short time.
Welcome back to the US
Thank you, Tosha. It’s rejuvenating time.
I’m glad xx
Me, too.
You are hanging out the playgrounds of my early 20’s.
Even without the internet (or perhaps because you were without the Internet)
NYC must have been fun…or so I imagine.
And New Haven!
I loved New Haven.
I lived in New Haven and played in New York…
Welcome Back…!
Thanks, Robert. I need to return more frequently. It’s good for the heart & soul.
Yes…
I’m not that far from New York
Have fun
Take care
Sheldon
So far I am.

You’re welcome. 🙂
Good to have you back.
Thanks.
America feels better now.
Well being with family & old friends certainly does.
Glad you’re back. Stay out of traffic if you can.
