The curtain is falling on Shea. They seem to be knocking down a section per day. Two weeks? Maybe.

Thankfully, it looks as if today's emergency landing in the Hudson river was textbook. Credit should be given to those pilots for getting those people down. What a job!

The tear-down of Shea is really moving along now. Check out the dust cloud, it was caused by a section as big as a ten story building getting knocked down.

Shea is coming down fast now. I'll have to get to the roof whenever feasible to keep the progression from jumping too much. What should I do with these photos once the rascal is down? I'll let you know what I come up with.

Got to MOMA today and saw--amongst other things--a small exhibit of hand painted posters by an artist named Batiste Madalena. I enjoyed the show and the clarity this artist brought to the fore in these placards. Good Stuff.

Here is today's Shea photograph. The tear-down is now obvious as the upper deck joins the lower. I'm sure they'll get through the work by month's end. Stay tuned for photo updates.

Chris and Karolina are back in the chilly Great White North by now, but here are some of the warm times we shared in NYC. We hope to see them soon!


Here we are at Simla, an upper east side Indian restaurant in Manhattan. Good Food!

Karolina & Chris dropped by today for some NY home cooking. Here is a shot of the two at 30 Rock. Have you ever seen anyone more enthusiastic for flashing lights? I doubt it.

Happy New Year to everyone visiting the blog. I snapped a couple of pictures today. One is of Shea, the other of Manhattan, with Queens in the foreground. What a cold and blustery day it is. The wind was just howling up on the roof making these shots a little less than comfortable to get. Just the same, I hope you enjoy them.
