There are oh so many things that I hate about living in New York but for each one of those there are an equal number of uniquely NYC things that I love. This morning on my way out of town, it was foggy and a little misty. It was starting to get light, the temperature was mild (upper 40s) and no one was on the streets. I missed my bus my minutes but didn't mind because it gave me time to walk to the subway and enjoy the morning. I got to my station and the train was coming into the station which rarely happens. I get to 34th street herald square and there are no tourists and Macy's windows are in full display, visable to all those who choose to stop and admire. The sky is as light as it will get, but looking north towards times square, you can see doom and gloom just beyond the bright and garish lights. Mornings like this make me grateful to have the opportunity to live and work here. I'm on my way to DC for the weekend and even though it is supposed to rain, I dont care.
