There’s nothing like having your kids and wife return, bringing guests, to fill up one’s days.   It’s been a week or two without a moment of peace, but I had a lovely time today shepherding family and guests to the city.  Grand Central to Union Square.  Walk to Washington Square park and enjoy the street performers, walk west on 14th and stop in Rags a Go-Go.  Continue on to my new favorite New York City Park, the High Line.

We grabbed taxis to make it back to Grand Central in time, and my daughters took the spaniards to Candlelight for wings.  They brought me back wings and fries, but I only needed one of each to be full!  Absolutely not diet food!

The photo below is slightly posterized with the outlines emphasized by blending in a line drawing of the edges, while wiping away most of the color.  The coolest part for me is getting back the gritty feel of the ‘peace ride’ as an artifact of joy in the midst of streaming traffic, all set against the grays of concrete and macadam.  I’m especially happy because I have a ton of pictures to play around with whenever there’s a moment free.  More soon.
