I completely forgot to complete my New York report! It’s now consigned to the part of my brain that forgets everything so will just summarise with some photos.

I bumped into Ina!
She's a Maineiac
/ December 17, 2014Great photos! Man, you just can’t escape that pesky Ina, can you?
joehoover
/ December 17, 2014She was probably stalking me all week and finally she caught me in the airport duty free store

/ December 17, 2014That was very nice… but not as nice as a San Diego story would have been!!!!!
joehoover
/ December 17, 2014I dunno, the sky is pretty blue too in my pics.
pouringmyartout
/ December 17, 2014but there is no me in them
joehoover
/ December 18, 2014Me either. I don’t put myself in pictures. Kinda ruins the scenery.
pouringmyartout
/ December 18, 2014nobody likes it when a thumb ruins a good shot.
joehoover
/ December 18, 2014😀
pouringmyartout
/ December 18, 2014yup
Beefcat
/ December 17, 2014Too bad you didn’t bump into Rachael Ray and knock her down. I’ve always wondered if she’d bounce right back up.
joehoover
/ December 18, 2014If she’s a Weeble she might! She was in town then, they had a food festival on and she was hosting some events. Paula Deen was there too, a shortage of butter was reported across the USA that day

/ December 22, 2014Love the photos! I have a huge picture with the Flatiron building in the lobby of my office. When I finally got to NYC a couple of years ago and saw it from the top of the double-decker bus, I squealed like a child on Christmas morning.
joehoover
/ December 22, 2014Isn’t it an amazing place, so familiar at the same time as discovering it for the first time.
Hopefully the first of many Stateside trips.

/ December 27, 2014Your tagline (actually might be the wrong word; I don’t know what else to call it, honestly) is PERFECT and I loved your beautiful pictures. You have yourself a new follower(:
joehoover
/ December 31, 2014Thankyou!
Linda Vernon
/ January 1, 2015Central Park is so pretty and that falcon! Who knew New York was so full of nature. I love your pictures. I’ve never seen that skinny building before. How weird. You must have to walk through everybody else’s office to get to your own. HA! I think I’ll just spend all of 2015 trying to imagine that. Anyway, after looking at these pictures I feel I don’t have to go to New York anymore. Thanks for going for me Joe! 😀
joehoover
/ January 9, 2015I never found any Funyons so it really isn’t worth going there 😀
Just think of working in that building, you’d have to say good morning to too many people, it would drive me mad.
It was nice, was lucky with the weather. Doing Vancouver hopefully same time this year.
Linda Vernon
/ January 13, 2015Oh Vancouver! I’ve been there. Years ago. We drove up there once and went to a demolition derby of all things. I remember they were being really picky about accepting twenty dollar bills and since we only had one twenty dollar bill on us we put lotion on it to make it look old. That’s my main memory about Vancouver. But it is very beautiful. Have you ever been there before? I also remember their beer was a lot stronger and they put codeine in over the counter aspirin.
joehoover
/ January 15, 2015Haha! You remembered all the important things.
Never been before, my partner goes for work every year for a month or so. I keep meaning to go along some time.
For now I will have real onion rings as I am goign to Lille in France tomorrow for my birthday weekend. The French still eat onions right? if they are not wearing them draped in chains over their person and carrying a baguette I will be disappointed.
Linda Vernon
/ January 15, 2015Oh Happy Birthday!! Going to France for onion rings would be about the best birthday any American could have! I’m going to look Lille up on the map as I just happen to have one of France in front of me as I was just looking at a map of France just before I read your comment! Anyway I hope you have a wonderful time!!!

/ January 15, 2015Beautiful photos Joe! I’m about to try to find all your social media everything and stalk you. I miss you a lot.
joehoover
/ January 18, 2015I am only on Facebook and here. I did have a twitter but i don’t use it.
thehobbler
/ January 18, 2015Do you actually get on fb? I think i messaged you.
joehoover
/ January 19, 2015Hi
Never had message, must be someone else 🙂
thehobbler
/ January 19, 2015Sigh. What are you up to Joe? I miss you!
joehoover
/ January 23, 2015Just back from Lille for my birthday weekend. On my own for 5 weeks, partner is in Vancouver!
thehobbler
/ January 19, 2015It’s you, the non-thumb version of your handsome, pondering face, with your hand on your chin.
joehoover
/ January 23, 2015It’s the photo I use on my memoirs post as I look like an intellectual person having deep thoughts
thehobbler
/ January 19, 2015I have fb under LFBaker (my pen name), I’ll figure it out.
joehoover
/ January 23, 2015Shall I find you?
thehobbler
/ January 23, 2015Yes! Immediately! 🙂
joehoover
/ January 23, 2015I’ll try, I am going home soon. it’s the end of a work day and a work week here! 😀
I have a busy schedule this weekend, I am sewing buttons back on my coat, cleaning my oven and buying some cups. It’s an exciting life in this city
thehobbler
/ January 23, 2015Lol, i didnt know you could sew! Cooks, sews, writes, is handsome and charming…why is every perfect guy gay?
joehoover
/ January 24, 2015I can sew a button on is about it
joehoover
/ January 23, 2015Nothing is coming up, you mean facebook and not Twitter right?
Did you find me, I liked your dying page if it shows you who liked it?
thehobbler
/ January 23, 2015Yeah, sorry. You can also find me as R. Franklin on facebook. I made it first. Try using the email playswellwithwords@gmail.com
joehoover
/ January 24, 2015I found you on first one. Sent you message. Let the stalking commence! 😀
thehobbler
/ January 25, 2015I need to know if you saw my reply to your message on FB before i can stalk you in earnest.
joehoover
/ January 26, 2015I haven’t set Facebook messenger up on my phone. I took it off ages ago as it kept popping up all the time. I suppose that’s the point but it got annoying. So only check my messages on computers
thehobbler
/ January 26, 2015Can you still see my message then?
joehoover
/ January 23, 2015My work computer is really slow today, I am goign to through it out of the window, except the window has metal grilles on it so it won;t work
thehobbler
/ January 23, 2015Maybe you can take a hammer to it.
