New York! New
York!
Indeed.
Who would have thought that when I visited that unfair city
all those years ago, it should prove to contain such prospects for future
delectation? For now it is my personal experience that the city and its
attendant state contain the best of Americans. (It is also my personal
experience that good Americans are hard to match, as are bad ones in equal
measure.) This is, of course, a subjective view.

By an odd coincidence, I watched Sherlock Holmes in Washington last night. The intrepid duo are en route to Washington, DC, and are
currently flying over New York City.
There’s an impressive shot of the Manhattan
skyscrapers, but I couldn’t help noticing that they’re flying in the wrong direction.

That's a favorable opinion. I like it! (Partially because it's an absolute fact. Hah!).
Let me guess (based on style.) You don't live there at the moment.
No, sadly not, Jeff.
I'm going to leave comments like this from now on, so you know who I am. The above was me, too.
But let's look on the bright side. I gather the weather up there hasn't been too friendly today.
It's odd how New York keeps jumping up in front of me wherever I look these days.
I just got the second comment. I always used to know it was you by the Feedjit, but now it's started recording your iPhone as 'United States' for some reason. I recognised you this time from the writing style.
Still, please don't think me either impertinent or obsequious (I'm occasionally the former, but never the latter,) but Sara happens to be a favourite name so it's nice to see it.
