Luggage and kids would make me think twice about parking and taking a train after a long drive.... I'd think you could google up a coupon for a garage that would be cheaper than a hotel and worth it.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Why does my BROTHER who has lived in MANHATTAN for more than 5 years not know these things?
Oh, wait, I remember, my sister and I somehow hogged all the common sense genes.

I am working 18 days between now and January 5. Only two full 5 day weeks.
I am committing to no schedule at work but my own. And people will get the death glare if they dare whine about it.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Because (a) your brother, and (b) Manhattanites either have a space or don't have car, and (c) your brother.

I would, of course, love to see NYCistas, though I will have a large posse what with the 4 of us, my brother and his fiance, and probably my mother and maybe my sister. We're talking about being in the city Deb 27-Jan 1, and our list of to-dos so far is your basic Manhattan tourism for children - Natural History, probably the Met (Dillo just read From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler) and I really want to go to the Cloisters; maybe skating.

My brother who has lived in Manhattan for more than 5 years does, in fact, own a car. It is sitting in my sister's driveway in Dorchester, because he never got around to selling it when he moved back to New York. @@ On the plus side, we borrow it every summer when we go to Cape Cod, which beats rental prices! We do always check to make sure he's remembered to pay the registration first.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds fun, flea. Probably hectic, but fun.

I love going to NYC between Christmas and New Year's -- this year, I'm passing through on my way to PA, but I should really spend some time, at least to look at windows!

I used up all my motivation when I got out of bed this morning and now I have none.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm right there with you, shrift. I have zero motivation but an article with a deadline. These are incompatible realities.
