I am very fortunate to live within little more than a two hour drive from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, NYC, the beach and the mountains. I like the change of seasons, too. I suppose those two facts have contributed to my tolerance of the cultural shortcomings of this area. I am also very fortunate to have very good friends that have allowed me to get to be comfortable and familiar with Manhattan. It is always fun to go there and experience it. Things are much more alive there than here in Amishland.
I have traveled into the city during all four seasons. Perhaps the nicest time to be there is this time. The city comes even more alive in its expression of the Christmas spirit. Friend Steve may have said it best when he said, 'Ya know, New York is a city of neighborhoods like any other. It's just bigger...and so is everything else.' So it is. At this time of year it is almost magical.
The pictures shown below in 'New Scenes from a Life' were taken this past weekend in Manhattan. The photo above is a warm Manhattan fireplace.
Hope all's well with everyone.
Enjoy the spirit of the season.
