Much to my dismay, I have scheduled client meetings right in the areas he will be around on the 24th AND 25th. This is going to suck so much.

My office is across from MSG, and my company (not HQ'ed in NYC either) made the decision that everyone is to work from home on Friday, as the threat levels are higher than they are comfy with. Not a big deal for me since I always work from home on Fridays, but nice to see they are thinking about the employees. Still quiet over here (I was just out). I am planning on being out of the office by 3:30 tomorrow.

It's my first time back here in a few years and am leaving Mid Town for Newark airport tomorrow.

Thank goodness we didn't use JFK.

I've seen some of the preparations they're doing up in Central Park.

Does anyone know how the cities were picked for the Pope's visit? I would have thought if it was going to be 3 cities visited on this trip. The choices would have been in say 3 regions of the country, so people from different regions could have possibly seem him. This way only the Northeast got the benefit of this visit. I mean NYC to Philadelphia is only some 90 miles or so. He should have visited something like NYC, Chicago and possibly Los Angeles. I'm surprised something hasn't been said about this, if it has I haven't heard it. Or perhaps this visit was only meant to be the 3 NE cities, because of planned functions there. I don't know I'm just wondering.

Did anyone here actually see the Pope live (meaning not on TV)?
