I have been back in New York two months today, and I am still struggling to get back into my "New York State of Mind." Billy Joel had it much easier because he was from Queens. I have been feeling very melancholy, balancing my machine-like momentum and my emotional struggle to make New York my home and have a real purpose in being here. Only back for two months, I already had to make a quick jet home for my Grandfather's funeral. Two days before my Grandfather passed away, I decided I needed to take a long walk. It was a nice day and I have always wanted to walk home from work, which is more than 150 blocks... here is my adventure "home"...

My favorite kind of Cherry Blossom Trees. This spring has been very mild but the flowers have been very pretty and have lasted longer than other years.
This is some sort of submarine, I like that it looks like a bottle of wine ;)
From the bottom... it is kind of hard to see but it was all set up with a toilet and a kitchen.

Geese! It's nice to see animals in the city other than rats and pigeons.
