Walk with me! I have had, as some would say, a checkered career, having passed through the so-called career of teaching in a lightening two years, then sales for 10, or so; finally, I found that little happiness would be found if I didn't become a tour guide - and not because I love bossing people around! I simply enjoy learning how New York City has become what it is through all the efforts of people bumping up against each other over these 400 years. I sometimes think of myself as a lone vessel cruising for the Northwest Passage ... and I've found so many others like me!
