NYC does know how to celebrate! I would have loved the Rocky music, challenge coin, all of it. My caregiver even more so.

I did get to ring a wind chime that hangs in an alcove near the exit to the lobby, but no one is with you and there's no hype. Later, they sent me a "Challenge Invoice" which will indeed be around my neck for some time to come smile

Paul, until I read about your events I was content with mine!

No longer feel guilty for all the kleenex I used there.
