Oklahoma blues is what you get when you have to leave your daughter behind (pictured here with her bigger little brother). Even knowing she is enjoying herself only helps to soften the blow a little. But still, we must soldier on. A fantastic four days in New York convinced me that it is one of the really real cities in the world - I just loved it. The Guggenheim was half closed but the Metropolitan was too big (for one trip) so it was all a load of fun; Central Park, Madison Square; Broadway; Ellis Island; Chinatown; Little Italy; SoHo; the Empire State Building, sigh - so far, so far, so high to see so far. But in Oklahoma I wouldn't look out of place dressed as I am in this picture above - hat an' all, y'all! And it was great to see Abbi, of course. The Okie campus is absolutely amazing, its like a small town and I will post pictures in time because now I have to write a paper for Dublin, as well as catching up with piles and piles and piles of work - we will go out enjoying ourselves in the city of immigrants:
