I went for a walk with my son tonight.
We were three thousand miles apart, but we walked and talked and watched the cell phone minutes tick by,
I watched the shadows wash across the Indio Hills.
He watched the skaters in Rockefeller Plaza.
I sipped on my bottled water.
He contemplated coffee at Dean & Deluca.
I watched the planes go across the sky.
He watched the skyscrapers touch the sky.
The air around me felt like spring time
The air around him felt like....November.
I went home to make dinner
He Headed off to Rue 57 to meet his wife and friends.
Good night, New York.
Wherever you are.

I've never been to NY. Our oldest went on a school trip and loved it. Someday...
I've never been to New York wither and have always thought it would be fun - I'm a musical junkie and would love to see a show on broadway.
