At LaGuardia Airport ready to head home from my 8 days in NYC. I’ll be posting reviews of the 2 shows I saw soon but here is a picture to tide you over til then.
This was my main mode of transportation for the last week. I miss my Volvo.
Remember tomorrow to read my blog entry here:
In Medieval times, a red door on a church signified sanctuary- a place where an accused criminal could be safe from arrest. The accused could ask for protection while in the church. If I remember right, the protection was for up to 14 days. Don’t quote me because I’m reaching way back to dig this info from the old memory bank (and it could be 40). The right to sanctuary was abolished by James I in the early 1620s. There is still a tradition of red doors on many churches.
Red doors have always fascinated me. I find them very appealing. I have quite a collection of pictures of red doors. Seems like I collect them. This one is in the Chelsea area of NYC. I love the detail at the top.
Favorite place to eat in NYC. Great Chicken scallopini and cannolis to die for. Can you tell I’m gearing up for a trip to NYC? Can’t say when I’m going, but I’m going. And I’m gonna eat here. FER SURE! It is in Little Italy. Highly recommended.
I even used it in one of my books.
I’m ready, I think, to make the Soundtrack CD for my newest WIP. This is a story about a lawyer and an Interpol Agent- who is not exactly what he seems. Here are the songs I’ve chosen. Couldn’t resist the Interpol one called NYC as the story takes place in New York City (or starts there, anyway).
Howard Jones : Things Can Only Get Better; Alan Parsons Project: Eye in the Sky; 10CC: I’m Not in Love; Pink: Do What You Do; Pink: Waiting For Love; Stevie Wonder: Boogie on Reggae Woman; Dan Hall: Never Thought; Pete Townshend: Let My Love Open the Door; Yardbirds: For Your Love; Turtles: Happy Together; Blood, Sweat and Tears: You Made Me So Very Happy; Walter Egan: Magnet and Steel; Dell Shannon: Runaway; Steely Dan: Rikki Don’t Lose That Number; Interpol: NYC
Just for fun, here is a picture from one of my trips to NYC
The subway had a fire as we sat in Juniors eating lunch – we got to see all the action- AND some pretty cute firemen. Why is it that all firemen are handsome?
