Travel does expand one greatly!

I rode the Amtrak back to New York City in the daylight, so I got to see the pretty sights out the window, and arrived at Penn. Station in time to meet up with Jeffery and go to Tom and Clarice's fun warehouse apartment for a nice supper and evening of chat.  Today I wandered in search of thrift stores, looking for a couple of new and different shirts for Jeffery.  Found a lot of interesting things along the way.
