Last Thursday and Friday, I was able to take a few days off and piggyback them with Labor Day for almost a week off from the paper. (I have most of two weeks available and I need to use them before January.) Unfortunately, Darla wasn't able to join me because of her new job.
I used the time to go back to NYC for the first time since we moved away more than a year ago. My time was a blessing, having fellowship with NY believers. I ministered to brothers and sisters while they ministered to me. (More later...) I did only a little "tourist" stuff--just watching the sunset from the Brooklyn Bridge. My visit took me through each of the five boroughs, but unfortunately I didn't even set foot in the NYC subway system. (Actually, with the RN Convention goings-on, that might be a good thing.)
I did take my scanner. I caught one FDNY fire -- a boat in a channel off of Jamaica Bay--nothing spectacular.
The trip made a great change of pace for me, but I returned to work on Tuesday with a week's worth of work to get the sports pages out that night.
