Backwards

In the state elections yesterday, Wisconsin voted 51% against same-sex marriage (aka gay marriage)!
Very dissapointing, just very disspointing. Anyone who reads this and voted against gay marriage ... YOU SUCK, REDNECK HOSER!

Big City Lights

Met my sister Nora in NY for a couple of days, as she was on the way to a conference in Boston (yes, our family is very intelligent ... I am the only exception). Of course we had to do some touristy things like seeing Time Square, spitting down from the Empire State Building and some pocket picking in Grand Central Station ( NY is not cheap). NY seemed very crowded, quite hectic but very interesting. The 3 1/2 days that I had there, were definitely not enough, so I have to come back sometimes. Because I am a lazy bum, I do not write more, but let my fotos do the talking ... :P

St. Patrick's Cathedral is dwarfed by skyscrapers.

Phenomenal wooden ceiling in the NY Public Library ... and my sister Nora.

Bending away ...

East River (from Empire State Building); the building with the spike, on the left is the Chrysler Building.

Back to normal

While on monday coming back from NY, I was greeted by a short outburst of indian summer (65 degrees Fahrenheit), now everything is back to normal. Riding my bike past a fountain this morning (7 am) I realized the surface was frozen and just now it was snowing for about 10 minutes. Whatever, off to the gym ...

Jajaaa, I will post pictures.
