my dream to see the 4th of July fireworks from the front row on the Hudson River.

FYI: That is best viewed from the New Jersey side most of the time.
That was true years ago, but the Macy's fireworks display is now on the East river, right at the Brooklyn Bridge and at Pier 17. The FDR drive along Manhattan's east side and local streets have sections closed so spectators can stand and watch. Brooklyn Heights would be a great spot too.

...I hate flying. It used to be such a pleasurable experience. The captain would always welcome everybody nowadays we hardly hear the captain unless in very dire conditions. I wish that they would realize how important they are and how important we think they are. An announcement before take off is always appreciated.
A year ago I flew from one side of Aussie to the other, 5 hrs. The Captain came on and did a spiel:
"Hi ladies and gentlemen, I have to say I'm really excited, you know why? I'm excited because I have the best crew ever flying you over the best country in the world tonight. Sit back and relax, it's going to be an awesome trip".
After that I didn't really mind that the TVs weren't working or that they were only serving Fosters.
That would be cute! I am always expecting an announcement about a grim storm or something.

I plan on becoming a better VESPA rider now that the first year jitters are over. Staying in lane, leaving plenty of room behind a vehicle and stop cursing cagers that don't know the rules of the road are a few things to focus on.
My 29 year old son found a Malaguti and we plan on taking rides together. That's what I'm looking forward to in 2020.
