Being a hick
I accompanied Diving Biker to her half marathon last Sunday. I had bad shin splints so I rented a bike while she ran

I like to pretend I'm a hick when I go to Chicago just too embarrass my oh so chic niece...said LOUDLY - "hey Becca, will you just look at all these tall buildings!!!!!!"

I considered wearing overalls and a straw hat

Ah, my old hometown!

Hey, I have that exact same brown "espresso spin" jersey from TE!

Just a tip- your white "Georgetown" sweatshirt would make you a prime target for pickpockets, especially in Times Square.

I wish they still made wonderful buildings like the Flatiron.

No worries when your pockets are already empty

When I was in high school, I had the famous Stieglitz photo torn out of a magazine and tacked to the wall.
His photo had much better lighting but I think I found a similar vantage point.

I've never been to NYC.
I hate to admit it, but I didn't even recognize it from Zen's photos!
I'm afraid to go to NYC. I've been to Baltimore, and Seattle, and Salt Lake City. I interviewed for a job in Pittsburgh and the giant city was so traumatic to my small-town sensibilities that I can't remember anything about it!
Albuquerque is huge now, that's where my family lives.
