Today I was mailing a letter on the corner of 41st and Madison, when I had a sudden desire to call my brother Danny. I dialed his cellphone and we talked a while."Let me call you right back, " he said a few minutes later, "I'm just getting out of a cab."
"Where are you?" I asked.
He replied, "41st and Madison."
"I'm on 41st and Madison!" I exclaimed, and just then I saw his taxi pull up and out he came. We embraced, stood on the corner and talked, then suddenly I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Katie?"
I turned around and it was my friend Lizzie.
I just love living in a town of 8 million.

Dear Michael,
I'm working on 42nd Street, you should have emailed me, I would have come down and said hello. (next time then)
I hope you and your girls had a nice stay in our little town, and I do hope you got yourselves out of Times Square!
I'm so glad you like the blog, thank you.
Love,
Katie
