I wanted to make my mark on America before I left. And I wanted the world to see it.

Day 1

In a few weeks time I leave New York.

I¹ve had some good times here. Met some cool people. And some real jerks.

I¹ve seen a new President take office.

I¹ve seen the Jets blow it again.

I¹ve seen more movies than I can remember.

And I don¹t believe I¹ve cooked myself a meal more than once.

America has made its mark on me and I really want to make my mark on America.

Day 2

As I looked out of my window on the 57th floor of the Empire State building inspiration struck me. I know what I must do.

Day 3

I¹ve spoken to some friends back home and a lot of them want to help me pull this off.

Day 4

We¹re on. This is going to happen. Greg is flying in tomorrow with the tech gear.

Day 5

It¹s all going to be in the planning now. It¹s all very well me saying, ŒI¹m going to do this¹ but now I¹ve got to put the hours in.

I¹ve got to get the maps and overhead shots sorted out by the time Greg gets here. Shouldn¹t be wasting time typing.

Greg has landed. No problem getting equipment through customs ­ he looks so trustworthy.

Day 6

Route planned. Up most of the night with a jet-lagged Geordie drawing and then re-drawing about it.

Cops turned up at one point. They stayed outside our block for ages. Really scared me. Thought someone had been monitoring me. Turns out there was a domestic across the street.

Greg had brought everything around with him. We were told it would be a doddle but we don¹t have a clue what to do with it.

Had to Skype Benjamin in London. Thank God for geeks. He may know a little more about Star Wars than is right for grown man but he makes anything simple for simple folk like me.

Day 7

Plans all in place now: we know the route we¹re taking, we know when we¹re doing it, and I even know
