New York, New York

 It's so nice, they named it twice...   

and it's cold and loud, and busy.

my deluxe accommodations

I've spent the week up here doing some consulting work.  

It's still a big city.  I'm excited to fly back tomorrow.     -Skip

I got a new bicycle and LOVE IT

 a TREK verve2 electric bike.

28" tires and XL-large frame.

It has a battery, motor and 9 gears, plus 4 motor speeds.  The brochure says i can ride 70 miles on a single charge.  My butt says I can't.  I'm still not sure who is right....

my first trip around the neighborhood.

With the NEW BIKE I can cover way more ground

and see a lot more of Clearwater and towns near me.

St. Petersburg Marina

Bill and Denise Sears came over and we had a great lunch visit last week.

It's my kind of place!  I'm going to like it here.
