Hi everyone. Hope all well went with your new year celebrations. All my doubts about coming here to New York alone have been well and truly kicked to one side. It’s been an excellent week. I’ve met some lovely people from all over the world. New Year’s Eve went well, the river cruise out by the Statue of Liberty for the fireworks has made memories I hope to keep forever. But as we all know on this site memories can be fragile, they’re not always forever. But it doesn’t do to think like that. I already have a great responsibility remembering for the two of us. So, tomorrow I’ll be leaving for home, and I’m ready. It’s been good, but this place proves you can have too much of a good thing. After Saturday I’ll be back amongst real friends, Marley and noodle and the rest of my family. On Sunday I’ll visit my wife, she’ll smile through my visit, laugh at the antics of the dogs, there won’t be any conversation, no questions about where I’ve been or what I’ve been doing, just silence. But there’s nothing new in that. At least I don’t get shouted out of the place anymore, that’s got to be a bonus So I’m going out this evening for my last New York steak, so I’m going to enjoy it I don’t know what the coming year has in store for us, just as well we don’t know, but whatever it is I can take it. I’ll sign off now but before I’ll just repeat my happy new year to everyone
