Back to Work

Pretty awesome weekend as far as weather goes. Yeah, saw a few spot showers move through Monday night. But near record temps and plenty of sun sort of made up for it, I would think.

Saw a bunch of sailors in the City. Bought a few rounds after work to say thank you. It's fun to see these young dudes roll into Gotham for this first time. They see Metropolis a lot differently than we do. Seems like when they see places like Wall Street, Times Square, the Chrysler Building and Central Park; their job takes on a deeper meaning. Look I'm not suggesting that New York is the center of the universe, or that these brave and determined young folk fight for our right to lay claim to the home of the free world. But I think it means something to them to see up close and personal urban American landmarks that they've only previously seen through the eyes of Hollywood.

See, people live here-- American and otherwise -- in the shadows of certain symbols of freedom and liberty. So seamen -- thanks for coming to hang, and thanks for your service. The next one is always on us.

Yours in Weather,
Chris
