For those of you waiting with bated breath for more episodes of Samantha\u2019s story, you\u2019ll have to wait a few weeks. She is currently on vacation in the Alternates\u2019 New York City. She plans to be on Alternate Earth four weeks and be back to continue her story thereafter. She sent this comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York is still a bustling metropolis, but people are walking down the middle of Broadway<\/em> and the only show I recognized was Beauty and the Beast.<\/em> Dr. Friedlund is showing me around and I have to admit it\u2019s a little overwhelming. Let\u2019s see, I\u2019ve been here a week already. I hope to be able to give a coherent report by next week, but I won\u2019t make any promises.
