I was born in New York City (the Bronx) on December 27th. Contrary to popular belief, NYC is comprised of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. In 1898 the five boroughs joined together to make New York City. Flanked on the east by the "East River" (actually a strait) and on the west by the Hudson River, Manhattan is a sliver of an island, measuring only 13 mi. long and 2½ mi. wide. Sizeable Queens and Brooklyn are on the other side of the East River, and Staten Island is to the south. North of Manhattan sits the Bronx, the only borough connected by land to the rest of the US. I now live in upstate NY in the lovely town of Germantown about 2 hours north of the Bronx.I opened my first website in 1995 and have had websites (and blogs) online since then. Right now I'm down to two.
