Well folks, nice to get all these replies but we really need to start setting some things more concretely to make it a reality. So the first order of business would be the date and time. Were aware that Mothers Day falls on Sunday May 8th so that day has been set aside for moms everywhere so we can cross that day out. We also have a 3-day weekend coming at the end of May, Memorial Day weekend often considered the unofficial start of summer and many people can take time off work without being penalized. But Madmax has stated that he will be in NYC until the Monday the 16th and he could make it anytime before then. Obviously weekends are best for most people but some others still work on those days. And the next thing that we should start considering is, what will we do once together. Do we want to walk through Central Park and chat? Go to a museum, take in lunch, go for dinner and drinks or all of the above? So, some suggestions please!
