So much of my life circa 2001 was spent going back and forth between Brooklyn and Chelsea and the WTC and its surrounding area were part of my routine.<br /><br />Cool to be able to embed your C-Span talk here.

I actually grew-up in NYC, and lived almost my first 20 years of life as a resident of Queens. I didn't live there until after graduation from NYIT (I attended both Manhattan and Old Westbury, LI).<br /><br />Of course, back in those days I wasn't as much of an extrovert as I am now. I think I attended a total of 2 Sci-Fi conventions, one in StonyBrook and one in Midtown. I think, I also attended a couple of lectures by Isaac Asimov... As I said, not very outgoing back then.<br /><br />Now? I have to say, I miss NYC terribly. I miss the culture, I miss the people, I miss the theater, I miss the Broadway plays and musicals (I've been to a few of both). My father, my nieces and my nephews all miss me.<br /><br />I'd love to come live there, if the right job came along!M.P.
