Felix Sonnyboy Wilson	Oct 21 2009 3:37 PM Eddie how r you hangin?? did you make it out to NYC? let me know about yer travels.... i would love to meet up this winter if yer in the east coast......... "Others will enter the gates of the ferry and cross from shore to shore, Others will watch the run of the flood-tide, Others will see the shipping of Manhattan north and west, and the heights of Brooklyn to the south and east, Others will see the islands large and small; Fifty years hence, others will see them as they cross, the sun half an hour high, A hundred years hence, or ever so many hundred years hence, others will see them, Will enjoy the sunset, the pouring-in of the flood-tide, the falling-back to the sea of the ebb-tide." Walt Whitman
