A Mini Photo Essay - Friday Morning in Rockefeller Center

Live from New York!  It's me.

Proof positive that you never know what you'll see on an early and crisp Friday morning in Rockefeller Center.

The Christmas tree has arrived and is ready for hoisting and decorating.  Lots of work ahead for a bunch of union workers who will be getting time and a half.  My father had the better idea.  He'd put a dry cleaning bag over our artificial and fully decorated tree and stow it in the attic.  Our Christmas tree took five minutes to put up.
The holiday season is officially upon us.  Radio City Music Hall is already featuring the annual Yuletide pageant.  There are already senior citizens waddling in.  Heck, lots of these codgers eat dinner by 4PM every day.  Why not have their Christmas celebrations on November 12?  Beat the rush.
And you can also begin your holiday shopping.  If your special friend already has a Mickey Mouse watch, why not one featuring another cartoon character?  The rumor has it that the battery on this timepiece ran out on November 2.

Dinner last night:  Turkey burger.

Our eyes in the Big Apple. Take some shots when it's decorated.

Saw a short news report today showing the tree hoisted into place. By any chance was that you ice skating at the rink? Aw it couldn't have been you. Footwork wasn't as crisp. Kept snagging his edge doing Lutzes.
