I'm there!

But probably not to run, I just want to watch this time.

I ran the NYC Marathon in 2003 and I don't think I ever will again. The set-up is just goofy. We were on the subway at 5:30 am to catch a 6:30 am bus to get on Staten Island and then the race wasn't until 10:00 am. Apparently that is how long it takes to get all the traffic cleared from the bridge and surrounding areas. I think I was tired even before we started.

I have been to New York City a handful of times and one of the times was shortly after 9/11. Being able to see the World Trade Center while it was still rubble was pretty amazing. The enormity of the building and the loss just cannot be fathomed unless you saw it in person. Now that it is all cleaned up it is still pretty cool to visit.

New York City is someplace I think everyone should see, I know one guy in particular that I will be taking if I go.
