New Year's Eve in LAX lounge awaiting a delayed Jetblue flight, 8:45pm Western Time, 11:45pm Eastern Time.  (We left about 45 minutes late but got in 30 minutes early.  A flight attendant informed me we had a serious tail wind pushing us up to 700mph a good part of the flight east!)  We lounge waitees weren't a celebratory group clearly.  But I was savoring a holiday peppermint-flavored Starbuck's latte and the new afterglow of a great trip with fresh warm memories and compelling impressions made!

ps -- here are a few recent NYC shots I'll stick in. I was tempted to add -- but there are too many -- T-day parade pix in here (that haunting belated photographic albatross I'll try to shed soon. Hah!].
