Seriously, didn't you used to always navigate by the Twin Towers?

Good thoughts for your mother tomorrow. And you.

Yep. I used to work near the towers, and when I came back to the city for the first time after they were gone, I found myself getting lost and disoriented in Lower Manhattan streets I had thought I knew well.

GL to your mom. Try to stay mellow and not bite your dad.

I'll be thinking about your family tomorrow.

All the time! The Empire State is nice, but it's not the same.

Best of luck with the surgery. Will be thinking of you both.

May the Force be with all of you.

I'll be sending the super strength Xenajean healing mojo up that way.

This is why I have a small compass on the bag I carry when I'm in NYC. Without the towers, I don't know north from south, certainly. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

BTW--

have you read any of Tales of Mu yet?

http://www.talesofmu.com

I'm thoroughly addicted, and I suspect based on what I've read of your journal -- with your interests in fantasy, sapphism, and BDSM -- that you're even more a target audience than I. :-)

Sending you all mojo, before, through, and after.

You and your mom will be in our thoughts and prayers tomorrow.

May her surgery be quick & easy and her recovery time fast & painless.


The waiting is always difficult. If I know I'm going to be waiting with someone, I usually bring a deck of cards. I find that the games you can play with them are just distracting enough to keep your mind occupied and for time to go a little more quickly, yet don't require so much focus and brainpower that I give up on them as too annoying. Good luck tomorrow.

Yes, the Towers. And the sun. I usually try to find the sun to determine West from East.

Doesn't work well at 2am, though.

I hope your mom's surgery goes very well and without any problems.

I did. Now I navigate by the Stratosphere.

Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

[identity profile] magnetgirl.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I like the stickers!

And no, never used the towers much to navigate. Mostly just for uptown/downtown directions. I know my way mostly by landmarks in separate areas.

Take good care today, dear. Here's hoping you're all too tired to be agitated as you mentioned.

I hope it went well.

I'm so glad you're mother's surgery went okay!! I'll be thinking good thoughts for you family.

And seriously . . Michael Clayton was unbelievable. Once the credits started, Chris leaned over to me and said, "George Clooney and Steven Soderburgh could produce Police Academy 8 and I would go see it."
