Meeting Alexander in New York City for dinner – Alexander

And that was about it. I met Alexander at the Wheeltapper Pub in the Fitzpatrick Hotel where we had an early dinner and a few beers. I didn’t take any pictures because: I already had some from previous visits; it was a bit dark; and I was more focused on eating and drinking than I was taking pictures.

After that we walked to Grand Central Terminal where I took this picture. Then we went our separate ways.

All in all, a very pleasant day.

Meeting Alexander in New York City for dinner – Looking down on the walkway

I was up by the sculpture in the previous post, when I looked down and spotted people walking along the walkway that I’d just taken. While I often get down low to take a picture, I don’t often take pictures from on high. So, this was a bit of a change for me. I just wish that the woman with the dog had been a little more to the left. I don’t like the way that she intersects with the pole. Otherwise, I quite like the composition.

Meeting Alexander in New York City for dinner – Slow down you move to fast.

Fifty Ninth Street Bridge Song

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobblestones
Looking for fun and feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy

Hello, lamppost, what’cha knowin’?
I’ve come to watch your flowers growin’
Ain’t’cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in doo-doo, feelin’ groovy
Ba da da da da da da, feelin’ groovy

I got no deeds to do
No promises to keep
I’m dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you
All is groovy

Simon and Garfunkel, 1967
