Comparatively, We Only Got a Light Dusting.

It's noon. There are only dog walkers and grown-ups with babies out at this hour. It's too early for most of the people around my age. Tweets and status updates from last night suggest they probably spent most of it drinking heavily with friends in anticipation of a megablizzard just like I did.

The Blizzard Begins.

Half of these images are prior to dinner with Jack and friends, half are after I went stumbling home soaked in bourbon and weighed down by ribs.

Hurricane Sandy, Occupy Sandy and a trip to Brighton Beach.

I don't align myself with the Occupy protestors, but I do think they have one of the better organized efforts providing hurricane relief in NYC. It's still somewhat chaotic.

I volunteered as a driver with my car to haul a group of volunteers, a load of supplies and hot food to the Coney Island area. After some confusion at our destination – they were overloaded with supplies at our target location – we delivered our supplies two miles away to a small church in Brighton Beach.

L Train Service Restored to Williamsburg

L Train service was restored earlier today between Manhattan and Brooklyn. Life on Bedford Ave remains quiet, however I am sure the weekend will bring back the noise.

Bound for Mexico.

I'm off to see my old friends get married in Mexico. Escaping NYC has been very John Carpenter. The trains aren't running. The lights are out. Getting to Newark to catch a flight was never this hard.

I can't complain. I have something to come back to after this trip, unlike some folks.
