Status Wheel

Albany isn’t the first place most people would want to visit, except maybe for being the state’s Capital, but other than that, there really isn’t much happening here from what I can tell, but maybe that’s because it’s in the middle of winter. On my way here, after finding a place to stay by booking a hotel room online, this guy in the Penn Station bar in Manhattan, who started talking to me, said he was so glad to escape Albany and really resents having to go back to visit with family.

My friend Windy, the reason I’m here, tells me otherwise, she really loves it in Albany and told me that it’s one of the fastest growing cities in the US. When she was telling this, she didn’t seem so convincing to me, but for me it’s never the place, but the people you are with, which makes any trip worthwhile. I spend two days with her and met her new friends at dinner. We caught up on years of being away from each other and boy did we eat and drink! I’d forgotten just how fun Windy can be, she’s a total blast. The last time we were together was our trip together to London and all I can remember is how many jokes she made at the English’s expense. Toothy if you get my drift.

My Ipod decided to quit working, so Windy took me to the local Apple store and viola’! Apple replaced it, but I did lose about 60 Gigabytes worth of music. I wasn’t really stressing that I’d be soundless for my trip back to Manhattan, but Windy’s new boyfriend came to my rescue and uploaded his collection, for which I am eternally grateful, except I never heard of the music, like Phish, String Cheese Incident and Assembly of Dust, but now, they are all my favorites! Thanks Albany, Windy and Windy’s new boyfriend!
