On Thursday I took the train up to New York to attend the opening of Monalog’s show at the SoHo Photo gallery. As nice as the show was, the best thing was being with my friends from Monalog and my family members that came to share the moment with me.

It all came together quite nicely for me in New York. It was a gorgeous day to walk around the city, only made better when the jury unexpectedly happened to hand down its decision, right before our opening. My phone began to light up with text messages and ring with phone calls that a verdict had been reached. Having a bite to eat at Walkers, just around the corner from the gallery and a mile or so from the courthouse, we saw the announcement on the bar’s television. And you know what … I stood up, clapped and screamed with pent up excitement. Not sure what that says about me, but damn, I felt good!

So maybe we still can get some things right after all. But to paraphrase the newly minted felon, what really will be important is what takes place on November 5^th when America speaks. I couldn’t agree more!

It was only fitting that one of my pictures included in the show perfectly captures my feelings about this frightening individual.  If you happen to be in New York, stop by and take a look!

Stay well,

Michael
