Soggy NEW YORK

Yes, it's raining in New York. Summer rain that I'm not prepared for. Israeli summers are dry, yes very dry. This seems to be more like a tropical storm, since it's still hot from what my friends say. They're off to visit their son in camp. The rain is putting a damper on their enthusiasm for the long drive and the outdoor venue.

And they left me here with the eMac and stunning view of Manhattan. I'll make my way to a family visit a bit later. Due to jetlag I didn't sleep very late, only up since before 4am, and I went to bed after 1. My doze on the couch was more like a real nap, so I couldn't fall asleep after awaking. The apartment I stayed in has an even more spectacular view.

Manhattan will never seem the same...
