I have my plane, hotel, Broadway, and Christmas Spectacular staring the Rockettes tickets and waiting on news for the NIT ticket. On Saturday, I’ll fly back to DSM in time for any kick-off time in Jack Trice.
Was in mid-town Manhattan for the Pinstripe Bowl on New Year's Eve. Effing incredible place to be at that time of the year. The center of the universe.
On 12-30, we landed and got to our hotel by 10:30am. We couldn't get to our room but could leave our travel gear. Walked 6 long blocks west to Times Square and experienced the world in one place. And then was attacked by a Muskieville Cyclone!!!! Thanks, Kevin.
We had time, grabbed some NY slices and headed to Central Park. So many sights that have been seen in so many tv shows/movies. I wanted to visit the John Lennon memorial, "Strawberry Fields". A world meeting place.
Asked the boss and boys to make a quick walk to the Dakota, home of the Lennon's. On the walk towards, I saw someone. I told everyone "don't stare."
Yoko. with Julian and others, were walking towards us. The boss said "good morning". Yoko said "Hello".
In NYC for 4 hours, saw Yoko and the bridge where Buddy the Elf machine gunned snowballs.
Then we got to get in our rooms,
