So who put those baseballs up inside the WTC cross? (In case there’s anyone who hasn’t read about these steel beams, they were found during the rescue period.) That’s really high up, as you can see below. What do they mean??

I’m tired. I’m going to start planning a week vacation. I have to take it at home, and not spend any money, but thankfully I live in a city where I can have a great time for a week doing free things.

Number 1: Sit on the river and read a book that is not work related.

Ugh, when you’re in a hurry. It’s always packed with people who have all the time in the world, apparently. I was going to take pictures of my walk home, but I ran errands instead. So tomorrow. I’ll give a tour from the financial district to the WTC to home.

Here I’m about to cross Canal Street and head up Broadway.

I was taking pictures of some reflections on a building down at the WTC when a plane went by. A plane and a New York City building—still kinda creepy. Here are the reflections.

Here is the plane. Well, maybe not so bad. Maybe it’s just me.

I don’t know about being a gallery guide down at the WTC. It involves giving presentations to school groups which sounds even more nerve wracking than the presentations you have to give on the tours. I have zero experience with children. I don’t know. I have to give this some thought.

I took this heading out of the subway, when I got back home. Hey! That guy looks a little Johnny Depp-ish, doesn’t he?

I took too long puttering around this morning and now I don’t have time to go to the library before heading downtown for a gallery guide training class down at the WTC Tribute Center. Now I need to rethink my whole day.

This training should be interesting. Originally I trained to be a tour guide for the WTC site, but I just didn’t enjoy being “on” like that. I also found teaching draining for the same reason. Some people thrive on that, I prefer to be in the background. (It’s why I love writing.)

I believe a gallery guide just has to stand around answering questions and I think I would love that. I would get to interact with visitors from all over the country and the world, but not in a performing way. In fact, in a more real and interactive way. I will report back!

So these are my $29.99 reading glasses. Yeah, probably not worth it but what the hell. What’s spent is spent.
