New York City is an amazing place. I once passed through New York State. My father had driven us through, on our way to Niagara Falls.
I have also visited New York City very briefly. I was flying to San Francisco. There had been an issue with the flight. I had ended up being flown to JFK Airport and then having to make my own way to La Guardia. It was my first totally solo flight and had been really scary.
I had been given some sort of voucher for the transport. Unfortunately I had misunderstood my instructions (sadly not that uncommon) and had tried to present my voucher to several New York cab drivers, before somebody had explained what I had needed to do
So that is my experience of the great New York City – confined in an airport taxi between JFK and La Guardia. I remember travelling through Queens. It is possible we were in The Delta Shuttle together but I do not remember anything except being extremely nervous in New York.
The implication seems to be that I met Mr Annoying (again?) during my brief sojourn in New York. I never went anywhere near Tiffany’s btw.
It really freaked me out that my daughter’s sunglasses were in a Tiffany’s box. Looks like a set up! Calculated to push my buttons!

To me it makes no sense that our meeting was apparently that significant and yet he had ended up sleeping with my flatmate when we finally went on a date! It seemed calculated to hurt me! I never cried aloud but I can still feel how much it had hurt! I can remember the pain and humiliation the pair of them had inflicted. I had been so looking forward to it, yet I had wound up being forced to watch them drinking and snogging in front of hundreds of people. Then to cap it all he buggers off without saying goodbye. I should probably never have gone near him again!
He needs to apologise!

When Dad had visited New York a short time previously New York had been considered downright dangerous. A colleague had actually been told to jump in a cab rather than walk the streets! New York City 1981
The other side of New York City was portrayed in programmes like Fame which I had adored,
“I remember fame costs and right here is where you start paying!”
Gene Anthony Ray was the star dancer. He was an amazingly talented but troubled young man. The show had taught me something about young men. In my view many, if not all young men go through a stage of being troubled. Sadly Gene was troubled in real life too.

John Travolta used to be really good at portraying troubled young men from New York City too!
⚠️ Drug references and strong language
He had also portrayed Tony in Saturday Night Fever.
We put young men in a box. In my view we often squash their heart and creativity. My mother had once made a point of telling me how much strength it took to become a male ballet dancer.

Nonetheless I send all of our brothers and sisters in New York my prayers.
Please pray for Carolyn and everybody else in New York City.
