Dangers in NY

Hmm.

In 2001, I bought a ticket to Washington DC in August (my trip was for November). Then, two weeks later, September 11 occurred and of course, besides the Twin Towers, the Pentagon was hit. I still went to DC, and it was being policed by the National Guard. I might not have bought my ticket after September 11, but since I did it before, I went to DC. And have been back many many times and will go again twice in the next couple of months.

I bought my ticket to NY last week, despite a homeless man going crazy in the NY subway and stabbing two people (one a Houstonian). Today, on Good Morning America, the terror bomb plot was announced for NY. Then, on CNN.com, they have a news story about a crazy man who went into the NY subway with a chain saw and hurt a 64-year old man.

Lesson to be learned: stay out of the subway. :) Seriously, Christine lives two blocks away from Times Square, so it's pretty central and the island isn't too large to walk around the good parts. I only went on the subway two or three times last time (and truth be told, I'm confused by that system, whereas DC is easy).

Cheers!

Erica, could you do me a big favor? Don't go to Chicago in October. I have enough to worry about with the marathon as it is.

Thanks :),
