Fortunately, I have no plans to visit NYC anytime soon. My work no longer calls for it. Too bad. I enjoy New York.

So do I. I was actually there this past weekend. My wife treated me to a Mets game at Shea on Saturday for our anniversary, which had been the weekend before.

Nothing is going to happen in NYC. I know that because Michael Chernoff told us so when he reallocated homeland security funds from NYC to Omaha and Fargo.

I enjoy New York.

I enjoy not living there anymore.

I miss the seafood, the pizza, the bagels, and the museums, but on balance, it's a no-brainer. There IS civilization "west of the Hudson."

The downside is that even after 35 odd years away from "da sitty", I'm still "a New Yorker" on the inside. Sure, the "distintive 'noo yawk' accent" falls away after a coupla decades, but the "attitude" never leaves.

The result is that here in the midwest, I am constantly "misinterpreted" and there ain't anything I can do about it. A few years ago, a friend somewhat more cosmopolitan than most of my contemporaries (she was a shrink, FWIW), told me that my problem was that I was "too 'New York'" for people in the midwest.

Oh well.
