If you are really looking for a great ride in New York to get the adrenaline pumping, the next time you get off the plane- take an extra $20 and tell the cab driver to get you there as fast as possible.

I wanted to FYI everyone here on AR about our Nardi Gras gie away. I know we had a bunch of AR folk stop on by the booth and enter the drawing for our contest- but it looks like a non AR person beat everyone to the lucky prize.   From the BloggingSystemsBlog.com***********************************...
