My wife and I, along with three of our daughters, arrived in NYC last night. The kids are barely getting out of bed at 10:30am today after I exhausted them last night by walking from 57th Street to Times Square and back, plus other NYC sights. Granted, the time change affects all this, but this is still late for them.

(Our house sitters, meanwhile, have the inestimable privilege of spending some time in Topeka.)

Anyway, we’re going to tour my old residence at Columbia University today, and then maybe do the Water Taxi, a neat Brazilian restaurant, and then Phantom of the Opera.

I’ll try to blog a bit. We’re here, of course, for the Woods/Murphy event on Saturday, which I assume all of you have booked flights to attend.
