Hey my dad told me the same thing too when I got off the phone with him yesterday..."be safe".....I told him here in Kiev with a total non-gang culture, and almost no violent crime; I'm probably safer than you! lol
TMI....sorry bro. I appreciate the kind words I really do.
Next time I fly into NYC, I'll try to make a point to stop by. I think I've got a good post coming out later today. I joined a protest in Buenos Aires and started marching in the street with the protesters! lol I'll link it up on the Sndbox. Have a great day brother!
