Thanks to all of you Sandy "survivors" for letting us know your situations and the bigger picture. Your "take" on things is amazingly helpful to us who now dwell in the middle of the country. Continue to do well.<br>

been quite a journey over the past week. Lynn , Nelson, and I are fine –
enduring our relatively minor hardships compared to many others. When I am
asked where I live I reply, “on the Hudson River”. At the beginning of the
week I would have had to reply, “in the Hudson river.” <br><br>The city and
our office has been shut down. Many of my staff including my partner,
have had to endure prolonged power outages, home damage, and isolation ,
that still persist at this point. Fortunately none of us has suffered any
injuries. Everywhere I go I am struck by the randomness of who and what is
sparred vs destroyed. <br><br>The finest human bonding moments for me have
been standing in the line with my gas can and visiting with my fellow
survivors, endurers, and mutualists.<br><br>We have seen many examples of
intelligence, respect, and practical concern and action on the part of
individuals and government officials from both parties in response to the
crisis.<br><br>Sandy has taught us to appreciate so much that we take for
granted and on the other hand our capacity as human beings to make do
and help one another.<br><br>Thanks for thinking of us.<br>Best
