Holiday

This time next week I will be in Jacksonville, North Florida and the week after that I will be in New York.

I can't wait to get to New York especially.

I have been listening to Jay-Z more or less non-stop and his new album is excellent. We're staying in Brooklyn so I might catch up with him in 'our' local boozer.
