Hello to all of you. Thank you for all the kind emails and messages related to hurricane Sandy.

I just wanted to let you know that I’m OK. If you were worried about me, don’t worry. Lower Manhattan is without electricity so I’m staying in Brooklyn for a few days.

In my area (Chinatown/LittleItaly) things were not that bad. Electricity is down for a few days but cabs are driving and I did not see any broken buildings. Some things broke, but it didn’t look that bad. I did not go to see the real danger areas near the water…

Good luck and thank you to all who are rebuilding what’s broken.
