Wooo hooo!!! Congrats on making to the "Big Apple" safe and sound!! So glad that Smokey came through like a trooper! The weather change must be quite a shock for the Smokster, but before long he'll be out in the elements "coatless"with all the others!! I am SO jealous of your great adventure! I was born in NYC an it's my favorite city on earth! What fun you'll have!!! What "posh place" are you working at??? My Dad is the manager of the banquet room at the Waldorf Astoria and it's so cool to hear about all the politicos, royalty, celebrities, etc. that he gets to meet! If you're living in the Bronx, please treat yourself to an eggcream! And please have a bagle and a DECENT piece of pizza for me!! And bartending school! Wow, what "guy" opportunities you'll have! Have you lived/been there before?? Oh, I'll shut up now! LOL! Be safe and well and lotsa luck! Hugs to Smokey!!
