Don’t Mess With NYC Shoppers

These guys were in front of Lord & Taylors, along with another guy and a barking (but still very cute) German Shepherd.  Why?  Wait, those patches are not NYPD.  Who are these guys?

Anyway, the NYPD arrested two men in connection with the muggings in the neighborhood. They’re still warning us to be careful because not all the muggings were the same, some were with guns and some weren’t for instance. They’re not absolutely convinced it was the same guys for all of them.  Still, progress.

The two men were spotted at 12th and 8th Avenue (very close!) and they took off running the minute the police looked at them.  They were chased and arrested by cops from the 6th Precinct. Thank you, NYPD!

I’m Nervous, I Admit It

I’m heading up to my publisher this afternoon to shoot a few videos that will be sent to various online booksellers.  I think there’s a reason I’m a writer.  I kinda like to hide out.

Meanwhile, more shots of last night’s snowfall.  I’m putting these together because I shot them through the trees and they look like I took them in the country.

It Just Keeps Getting Better


I went nuts last night taking pictures while I was walking home in the snow.  I’ve probably got more pictures of the West Village in a snowstorm than you would ever want to see, but I might be posting them throughout the day. Except I just remembered I’ll be gone for most of the day so maybe not.

The title of the post comes from reading this on Obama’s website:

“In the press conference yesterday introducing the new team, President-elect Obama said of Energy Secretary-desginate and Nobel-prize winning physicist Steven Chu, “His appointment should send a signal to all that my Administration will value science, we will make decisions based on the facts, and we understand that the facts demand bold action.”

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!

(Sung to the tune of the Hallelujah chorus from Handel’s Messiah of course.)

It’s Snowing! And You Know What?

It’s not easy trying to capture snow.  But there it is.  You can see it kinda.  

So, tomorrow my publisher is shooting four two-minute videos of me for the various online booksellers.  I have to prepare what I’m going to say, and, equally important, what I’m going to wear.  Oh, and my hair!  My hair!
