Hey, when you saw me on the subway, you should have woke me up and introduced yourself!

All joking aside, while I would never want to live there, you have to admit there is a certain excitement and buzz about that town.

There is so much to see and do and you only scratched the surface.

Ben,

This was an interesting post...I have a question -
what exactly do you do?
I got the impression you were a programmer (I can't remember what I read that makes me think that) - but you said you went to the Marketing Sherpa conference - are you in marketing?

blessings,
sarah
