Mission Accomplished
A little more than about 13 miles and 5 hours later... we succeeded in walking the length of Manhattan, started in the Bronx and ended in Battery Park. It was fun walking and talking with some friends, seeing the changes from neighborhood to neighborhood, mile after mileÖ but even more fun to kick my feet up after it was all over.
Yeah, I'm sure glad to have that goal checked off my ìweird things to do while living in Manhattan list. Hereís a pic from the end, with a really really really really really really really small Statue of Liberty behind us and to the left of the photo.

The engineer in the family
Yes, I\'m aware that this posting has really nothing to do with any of my production or photography, but too good to be passed up none-the-less.
My brother, with his engineering and more analytical background, decided to find out why he was balding. After taking the following photo with his daughter, and a few equations later, he got it all figured out.
Thanks Brian for sending the pic/diagram to me, I\'ll make sure to wear a hat next time I babysit.

My Dean Martin & Giuliani conspiracy theory
Ever hear the conspiracy theory that if you watch The Wizard of Oz, wait for the third lion's roar, and then hit play on Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album, that the rest of the movie is perfectly in sync with it? Never tried it, but heard it works pretty well (although I\'m not sure of the sobriety of my sources as they tried it).
Well, after today I'm fully convinced that in a similar fashion (but completely sober)- if you start at the south end of Central Park in NY, wait for the signal to start blinking "walk," and hit play on the song "All I Do is Dream of You" by Dean Martin while strolling down 8th Ave.... that the entire city is completely synced up to it. I'm sure Giuliani had something to do with it, but have no conclusive evidence as of now. As I do more research and fit more Dean Martin songs with different neighborhoods I'll let you know my findings.
If you are to try it on your own, the most important part is to "stroll" and not "walk." Lose that detail, and the theory is bust.

P.S. I heart NY
