Aaron,

Excuse me...but *I* happen to think that it is 40 minutes in the RIGHT 
direction. Did I forget to mention that, a mere 40 minutes in the 
"wrong" direction, you can be at the dock that overlooks the harbor and 
Long Island sound...or did I forget to mention the local seafood 
restaurants at the dock...or our local steak houses...or our sushi 
restaurants (3 of them)...our Thai restaurant...or our Italian 
restaurants (too many to count)...or our Mexican/Central American 
restaurants (2 of them)...or our pubs with great food (again...too many 
to count)...or our Chinese restaurants (too many to count) and the 
restaurant service in general where you don't get treated like we did in 
HRC.

And when I want to see the "big" world, besides being able to be in 
Manhattan in 40 minutes with a single train ride, I could be in downtown 
Flushing (25 minutes) where the food rivals ANYTHING you may find in 
Manhattan's Chinatown...in fact...it's hard to classify downtown 
Flushing as a little Chinatown since you can get Thai, Vietnamese, 
Korean and many other types of food at great prices. A few additional 
minutes and you can be at Shea Stadium (very handy when I went to the 
Springsteen concert) or at the Tennis Center.

NOW what do you have to say for yourself!

Jeff
P.S. Notice how I controlled myself and didn't say that *you* lived 3 
hours in the wrong direction? How's that for self-restraint? 
(Ooops...darn...I said it.)

P.P.S. On a more serious note, downtown Flushing would be a great place 
to meet to get some fantastic food.
