...i'm leavin' today (tomorrow) i wanna be a part of it
new york, new york
these vagabond shoes are longing to stray and make brand new start of it.
new york, new york
i wanna wake up in the city that never sleeps
to find i'm king of the hill, top of the heap,
these little town (less-big city?) blues are melting away
i'll make a brand new start of it in old new york
if i can make it there, i'll make it anywhere, it's up to you, new york, new york.

And now some wise words about my magical destination that you won't find sung by frankie s...

"i love new york city, oh yeah, new york city! i love, new york city! oh yeah!! new york city!!"

"big nights, big city, bright lights, no life. 200 dollars for nothing, i think i know you're bluffing. hand me the money. he's not on the phone, they're playing along, throwing the table, the cardboard mayhem. we're surrounded. new york city is overrated."

...i'm leaving tomorrow morning, excruciatingly early, for new york city. i'm excited. my travel companions will be sisto (a clever nickname i've given to my sister) and her fiancee rick (who was coined "slick rick" by our darling cousin zachary, who works at the smoothie king). at our destination we will reunite with mom, who has been in the big city for a week. dad and shelbert will hold down the fort while we're gone, as i'm certain brent won't be staying on 1960 eastpark for thanksgiving. i hope that you all get to see people you love, and that love and joy and peace and friendship dominate the thanksgiving season. and some rockin' food. i'll have to hold off the great southern cooking 'til i get home on friday, but i'm okay with that. love y'all.
