CURIOUSER NEW YORK

I usually don't do this. I don't post any commercial information - unless this is part of my life, my choices... I usually don't advertise anything either - unless I'm mentioning a place, person and/or activity that I really like and accept as part of my life... And last, but not the least, I don't do any polls on my blog... That's said, however, this time around is different because the matter I want you to get to vote is part of my life - and this is how...

I've been always attracted to the archives - archives on everything. I remember as a kid, I'd go to the public libraries to browse through the books and smell the covers of the very old books. I pretended they smelled "history" - and the smell of my morning print press still fascinates me. But please, do not think I'm weird. Not at all. As a matter of fact, yesterday when I went to visit Newseum in Washington, DC - [the one that cost $20 billion to build] - I came across a gift shop, which sells cups with a tag "I love the smell of my morning newsprint" - so, there! I'm not weird at all...I actually got that cup, long with the one that says "Trust me, I'm a reporter" - the line that could be interpreted both as a "sarcasm" and as a "true statement"...
