A couple of pictures from my postcard-perfect trip to New York.
My, won't it be nice to be home again!
(Wherever that is.)

About Me
- William V. Madison
- I’m a native Texan, educated in the Northeast, and a proud New Yorker for 21 years. Since 2004, I’ve been a legal resident of France, dividing my time between Paris and a little town called Beynes, near Versailles. ... I’ve been a producer on radio, a writer on television, a gopher on Broadway, a stage manager and costume designer off-off-Broadway, an opera critic, a secretary, a reporter, an editor, an actor, an English teacher, and a go-go boy. ... My former bosses include soprano Teresa Stratas, actress Madeline Lee Gilford, producers Robert V. Straus and Lee Guber, and broadcast journalists Dan Rather and Connie Chung. ... I’m currently writing the biography of actress Madeline Kahn.

Why, those pictures both look like the special wing at Bellvue (the "Flyspace" ward) where the Met Opera Chorus goes for convalescence. I don't believe those pictures have been seen by anyone before! Bravo!
