Our New Yark Adventure....Yhar!

Well we’re back, as if you hadn’t guesses, and now things are different. The picture above is one we took with our camera of the New York skyline. I also have somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 pictures if anyone would care to see them. We started off having to figure out the subway system to get from the airport into lower Manhattan. The subway trains are actually a very nice mode of transportation and we did end up relying on them heavily. We went to time square several times, as our hotel was about 3 blocks from it, and beheld the fast paced nature it’s known for. We also saw a few crazy people but they were all on one day and in one part of town. The museums are cool and deceiving at the same time. The ones you think will be cool and awesome, some due to reputation (cough cough ‘Gugenheim’) are actually really stupid and those that sound small and are hardly mentioned have some of the coolest things you’ll see in museums. The Jewish History museum was powerful and humbling. We saw two Broadway shows, The Lion King and Spamalot. Both were great and well worth the cost. All in all it was a great trip, something we’ll only do once except for perhaps a quick stop in the summer to see what Central Park looks like in the summer.

Now for those of you who haven’t yet heard, I have returned. Yes that is right my friends I am now working a day shift and ready to participate in all of the late night funnings that had previously been denied due to satanic influence. But wait there is more. Not only am I on days now but I will also be starting a new position on Monday April 10 as the new Research & Development Testing Data Annalist (Yes that is the actual title, sounds cool huh) which will consist of a nice cushy office job with my own desk, computer, etc. My thanks to those of you who helped in the acquisition of this position….. which is a grand total of NONE of you HA HA!, But I do thank you for your support and patience while I bribed my way in. This also means that I will be present at HDR from here on our with a few possible exceptions.

So now that we are back Nikki will begin looking for a new job, actually she has already secured an interview from an inside source this Wednesday to be the new Controller over the athletics department of UVSC. Pretty snazzy, and I think she has a good shot at it too. ALSO, as soon as she DOES get that, or A, job we will begin some hardcore searching for our new house. I’m so happy. While I am grateful to my parents for letting us live here for a few months, it has been old since about our second day here. We are ready for our OWN house again!! Also, we went on a horse ride yesterday, the first one possible since the tragic and eventful opening of the Elk, or Wapiti as named by the Native Navaho Tribes from centuries passed, hunt when Nikki’s jaw absorbed enough energy to lift 1800 lbs of horse meat several feet off the ground, and Nikki rode Tiny. I’m telling you, she is a tough girl so don’t make her mad. Chris already knows what happens when she has a paintball gun and you have her team’s flag, yes testicles were involved. Anyway, I plan on posting again soon as I have much to say. Some of this includes Dave’s reaction when I mysteriously showed up at last week’s HDR. Until then, Stay tuned.
