New York: Round 1

I spent the last 5 days in New York City.

A lot of it was spent doing funeral stuff.

It wasn't too terribly sad because it gave us a chance to come together.

Those opportunities don't come along very often...

especially since we all live hither and yon.

We had one full day we got to spend in Manhattan with my brother.

I appreciate my extended family more and more as I get older.

I'll be back up there next month for Round 2.

Here's a few pictures...
