There is a line in the Lou Reed song Wild Child that says “…always back to Lorraine”. I always heard it as “…always back to the rain”. Even though I know it’s wrong, I always get that song in my head on a rainy New York day.

Where I work
St. Patrick’s Day Roll Call
Ahhh St. Paddy’s day in NYC… nothing like it. The NYPD were out and about, on various corners this morning, preparing for the days “festivities”. As a NYC regular, I see the barricades and think “How am I going to get across 5th ave. at lunch time?”. My iPod is shuffling The Pogues as I debate venturing out later tonight to McSorley’s… where the vomit absorbing sawdust has a very special meaning on this day of the year.
Chrysler Building
Chrysler Building and Clouds
The Chrysler Building is one of my favorite NYC landmarks. I took this shot on my way to work this morning. I really liked the dark mood created by the back light and gray clouds.
I was lucky enough to attend author Neal Bascomb’s presentation in the old Cloud Club in 2002. If you have any interest in skyscrapers, I highly recommend you check out Mr. Bascomb’s book : Higher: A Historic Race to the Sky and the Making of a City.
