The Giant Apple

An early start tomorrow as I’m off to New York for a couple of days with work. NYC saw its first real snow of the winter on Saturday (photo) but fortunately for me it has rapidly cleared as the temperatures warmed with it supposedly set for 50°F (11°C) tomorrow.

The trip will be typical of many, i.e. airport, office, bar, restaurant, hotel, office, airport but I’m looking forward to being away from my desk which has been a bit mental since the new year.

I write this before the result of the NFC Championship game between New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers. The winners of that will have a significant impact on the mood of the Big Apple tomorrow, although my boss is a Jets fan, who haven’t won a Superbowl since the 60’s.

The winners will play AFC Champs New England Patriots who have just edged Baltimore Ravens 23-20 in Superbowl XLVI in Indianapolis on Sunday 5th February. I’ll be in Orlando with some mates that weekend to watch the game.
