Xeno, thank you for your detailed response. I enjoyed every minute of it!
Oh, a little follow up on Bhairitu's comment about high security in NYC. As I met my wife and daughter after they attended Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral ,there was a heavy police presence,. They were with armed semi, or fully automatic assault rifles and other gear. So, that was interesting. Also, the two Memorial Pools at the 9-11 site, marking the location of the two towers, was very impressive, IMO. Everything to do with the memorial was controversial including the memorials, but I found them to be rather perfect. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> wrote : Thanks for the invitation, but I have other obligations. I deleted my post as I tend not to have any photos I have taken remain on the Internet in a public space for very long. I live about a 60 mile drive out of the City, and tend to avoid going into the City unless I have to. Normally I drive to the Metro North Train Station in Brewster (and at my age the round trip costs about $18.50), which actually costs less that the total cost of driving, though it takes longer. Parking is expensive in New York unless you hunt around. I have medical appointments on Monday. As I get older these appointments seem to be increasing in frequency. My vehicle is about 15 years old and I need to take it in for repairs, the exhaust system needs patching (I hope) as there are some holes in it and my SO is complaining about fumes, she is very sensitive to industrial fumes even though she thinks nothing of asphyxiating me with smoke particles from incense. The Cloisters was interesting. That day I was there, I went with a local photo club. The museum gave me temporary permission to use a tripod so I was able to get shots in darker areas until my camera died. I used my SO's camera for the rest of the day. I think that camera died a few months later too. Once again thanks for the invite, but it takes a lot of pressure to get me to go into New York City. If I go in more than two or three times a year, it's unusual. --------------------- From: "steve.sundur@...

But I enjoyed your piece about The Cloisters, and wanted to invite you for lunch at the Four Seasons, Pool Room tomorrow (Monday), at noon. That may depend if our attire will permit us entrance, but if not we will dine somewhere else. We'll be a party of four, two adults, and two grown kids. I know little about the Four Seasons other than hearing about it occasionally, but I read that it may have to relocate, and that it had a wonderful atmosphere. And me, being a sucker for "darshan", of any sort, I though,we'd make a splurge. Hope you can make it, even with the last minute notice! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <anartaxius@...> wrote : Having located the source of our knowledge from India it turns out to be....
