Sigmund recently stopped off in New York City to spend a couple of days with Beth.
Beth and Sigmund really painted the town red! Looks like they sampled a bit of everything.

Everywhere that Sigmund went, he drew crowds of curious New Yorkers. Everyone loved him and wished all of you guys luck with the fund raiser. (Talk about publicity for Laurell's books!) Here goes the assorted stories of Sigmund's trip to NY: Well, as you know, Sigmund arrived in the pouring rain on a holiday weekend. As a result, we were confined to indoor activities. Sigmund attended two grown up dinner parties on Friday and Saturday night, and three children's birthday parties - one on Friday, one Saturday, one Sunday. He was the hit of all of the parties, but there are no pictures because there were several dissenting opinions on the posting of the photos to a web site, party poopers - sorry! On Monday, the sun popped out and we popped through the Brooklyn Battery tunnel to see the parade. On the drive uptown Sig got to cruise the Empire State building, Chelsea, Wall Street, Soho, and he got some nice views of Lady Liberty herself. Sig also passed ground zero, but we did not feel that taking photos of the site was appropriate.

	So we start with photo 1, Sigmund got to ride the wererats' float. He found that they were political protesters, and began to be swayed by their radical views. Sig made plans to meet up later for lunch with his new friends.
	In photo 2, after the Columbus Day parade, Sigmund headed off to meet his new buddies for a power lunch at Tavern on the Green. He cut through the park, only to meet up with some local toughs. Sig made a good showing of his dominant little self and the bullies backed down!
	In photo 3, Sig power lunches at TotG, with many curious stares and giggles from patrons at nearby tables -how rude!
	In photo 4, lunch is over; and Sigmund the political radical leaves his lunch date with plans to meet up the very next day for a protest in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, he strolls down Central Park West to Strawberry Fields. Here he stops for a photo with some fellow Lennon lovers. Sigmund just keeps making friends wherever he goes!
	In photo 5, Still heading downtown, Sigmund makes a new friend at Times Square. In the g rated version - Sig's new friend is a vice cop who makes a date with him for the next day when she is off duty. In the r rated version - Sig's new friend is a vice cop who busts sig. Sig meets new friends in prison and they join him in boozing and tagging up in the hood upon his release. In the x rated version - Sig's girl t'ain't no cop. (ahem)
	In photo 6, Sig heads off for Chinatown with his lady cop's number in his pocket and goes for dim sum. His table mates teach him to use chop sticks. After much engaging conversation, his new friends decide to take him on a tour of their neighborhood.
	In photo 7, Sig's new friends photograph him at the Buddhist Monastery on Mott St. He meditated, made a donation and was granted a fortune - Excellent luck is ahead for Sigmund!
