Let the next phase begin.
Of course the exit from the hospital did not exactly go smoothly due to the UN General Assembly being in session.
I went out of my building attempting to take a bus up 1st Ave but seconds into that I was reminded that there is no bus on 1st Ave during the UN General Assembly. So I decided to walk up 1st Ave only to discover there is no walking on 1st Ave during the UN General Assembly.
So I walked up 2nd Ave only to discover we couldn't go north at the corner of 47th St because of a motorcade leaving the UN General Assembly. We stacked up at the corner for 10 minutes until some random head of state zoomed by with 50 of his closest pals...
I continued up 2nd Ave but when I hit 59th St I had to cross to the west side of the street because of the 59th St Bridge. There an impatient motorist almost ran me over because he didn't care that his light turned red.
Well I lost it and start pounding on his car screaming "YOU MISSED THE LIGHT!!!" I called out to a nearby cop and yelled "this fool is running over people in the crosswalk. He missed the light!!!!" Actually I used a much stronger word than "fool" but it started with the same letter...
I left with Yvonne and directed the cab to go in a route that took us far from the UN. But silly me... that route took us near the Waldorf and all the other places diplomats stay at when they leave the UN General Assembly. It took about 40 minutes for a ride that is under 2 miles.
And the big concern while we are stuck in traffic is now.... she might have to pee!
