NY excuse to get excited

Work is still grabbing my full attention like at gun-point, in the clutches a psycho girlfriend who refuses to give up on the relationship...but in a good way. So many seeds planted weeks ago are surfacing for my Spring career. The Marketing department has advertised a new job which almosts matches my profile and offers more money. It's the right thing to do but still enjoying my new found limelight.

Since Saturday my rib injury and dead arm has impressed those who seen the bruising. Have tried taking a photo of the arm but haven't got one to do it justice for the yellow and purple to come out enough.

This week has seen the ideas engine fire-up for our New York mini-holiday for Kerry's 30th birthday. Here's some things we hope to see:-

• Spam-alot is on Broadway before taking London theatre by storm. Basically it's Monty Python's Holy Grail in musical form.
• Empire State Building has to done which has just opened its 102nd observatory floor. Looks like I'll be doing this on my own.
• Good timing of our dates being means we could see the Bent festival. No, it's not a queer folk get-together but performance art with circuit boards
• Since our Grand Canyon helicopter ride I've been looking for another excuse to fly again. There's only one company in NY so really want to do this.
• Kerry pulled focus last night on museums and found the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They've got a really good collection compared which will demand almost a full day.

Here's our hotel, the Sofitel which looks like marble wet dream.
