I might be biased. No, I'm totally biased. His loss. You may not be perfect, but I think you're amazing. It's not often that I "meet" someone I respect on an intellectual level or as a writer for that matter and you tick both boxes and I'm sure many others. If he can't handle you, he's a punk little boy. You enjoy your shopping and Blue Eyes and have fun. I love Manhattan! I spent a week in NYC as a gift to myself after I was called to the bar (became a lawyer). I stayed in Hell's Kitchen on West 46th but was walking distance to Times Square, etc. You'll laugh, but I've been all over the world and some of the friendliest people I met were in NYC. No nonsense, no bullshit, but very warm and welcoming.
