It's probably pretty wrong that I think of today first as my grandmother's birthday, second as Armistice Day and only third as Veterans Day. Oh well, I get there eventually.
Ports are closed today, but the office and warehouse are open. That always makes more for a more interesting week of inventory wrangling.
He's got a business meeting in Middle-of-Nowhere, Wyoming.
I hope he's wearing warm clothes, it's cold on the high plains.
How did you find out, Burrell? Did they do any damage (to your account or wallet)?
New York-affiliated people, thoughts on a place to cheaply park a car for a visit to the city? We're talking about driving to visit my brother in Manhattan between Xmas and New Year's. He lives on the Upper West Side and just spun me a tale of street parking horrors when someone else visited him. And apparently hotel parking is $150 a day? Is leaving the car at a commuter station in NJ for free/cheap our best bet? Or is there a better way?
Argh, Burrell. I hope that doesn't cause you too much trouble.
flea, whenever I come to NYC from north of the city, I always park at the New Haven station and take the train in. I figure it can't be any more expensive than parking in the city itself, plus it saves me the horror of trying to drive/park in New York. I imagine the calculation would be pretty similar coming in from NJ.

Yeah, he made sure to pack his warmest clothes. (He has an hour-and-a-half drive once he lands at the airport.)
That's what we always did, too - growing up in central CT we knew which were the best Metro North stations to leave a car at (some had free parking, but that was a looong time ago). But we'll probably be coming on i-70 or i-80 and I don't know the NJ suburbs at all! And also we'll have luggage, which is an added complication.

Drive to my apartment in Brooklyn and park for free on the street!
I *think* there is a free lot at the Newport Centre mall (which is right next to a PATH station), right across the river from Manhattan, but I'm not 100% sure so someone from NJ should probably chime in.

Yes, but you can park in a garage for $20-30/day, and some of the bigger chains have online coupons.
