Hi Nell, Next time I see you're online I'll post my email address - I don't like it hanging out for too long on the site, I'm afraid I'll get spammed. After you've gotten it, I'll erase the post. Anyways - interesting news about downtown - I used to work just one block from there - kindof scarry! But I hope that you can take your mind off things for a bit while in NY - I know it's so hard to loose a job all of a sudden like that and especially right at Christmas! I'm glad you have some savings and a caring BF involved. Have a good time up north! Min
