It's been a while since I posted. We just visited NYC over the Memorial Day Weekend. I had a great time. One of the only hitches we had was when I decided to take our luggage on the E train (the subway). I just got off the red-eye from CA and we were pretty tired. Lugging the luggage wasn't easy.

The rest of the trip went well. We visited Yankee Stadium for lunch at the Hardrock Cafe. There was no game as the Yanks were away. We were down at South Ferry viewing the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. That night we saw the Broadway revival "Anything Goes." It was great. Times Square was in all its glory. A far cry from what it was 25-30 years ago. We also visited the Tenement Museum on 97 Orchard Street on the Lower East Side. Take the F train to 2nd Avenue and head towards Katz's deli (which is also a great place).

On Sunday we visited the Brooklyn Tabernacle Church. You can take the F train to the Jay Street station and exit on the Fulton Street side. The Church has a very interesting history and a great service.

NYC still attracts many tourists and rightfully so. There isn't any city like here in The US of A.

I've been practicing for nearly 30 years. It's interesting where the source of new information regarding my field will come from. I had a bifocal lens patient who came into my office. He was wearing a type of bifocal contact lens that I stock. This lens is the type that is usually given to somebody in their early 40s. With a little modification, this patient gave me the idea to start fitting this lens to patients in their 50s and above. I had not thought of this before. I have met with good success for this population of patients who want to wear bifocal contact lenses.

I haven't blogged for a while. I was in NYC over the Christmas weekend. I had stayed with my uncle one night. We had to dropped off friends of his in Queens. No mapquest, gps, nothing. We got lost in Queens. My uncle was raised there. We went through some really old areas where my parents and grandparents lived. We went through Elmhurst, Jamaica, Richmond Hill and The Rockaways. My grandparents moved out of there about 45 years ago. To me the area looked the same. My next blog will contain stories about the wonderful blizzard.
