I have a chance to visit New York City. My best friend works for IBM, and he made some processor thingamablob work a lot faster so they love him and his wall of patents. Someone in New York wants him to go there in January for 3 weeks and... I dunno, show them the thingamablob. They're going to put him in the Radisson in Manhattan, and he's pushing for a big suite. He's pretty sure there will be a place to crash- if not an entire other bed in a couch, then at least a couch. I'd be on my own for most of the time. He's told me that if I pay for my flight, he'll let me crash with him in the suite for a few days, and even buy a couple of meals. I checked flights; it looks like I can get a round trip for under $200.

I've never been in love with the idea of NYC the way some people are, but I would like to see the place. I don't know squat about anything; my brother went a few years ago and saw the Statue of Liberty and went to the Guggenheim and did a few other things. I have no idea what I'd be able to easily do... how hard is it to figure out the subway system, how much are cabs, how much is walking an option- especially considering that it will be January! But I am really tempted. I'll give it a few days and see if my friend really would be willing to put me up, get me to and from the airport, and buy me a couple of meals- it seems like it might be a neat adventure.
