DR elmore - There must be something strange going on with the banking system in NYC right now. My roommate deposited my rent check last Friday, and as of this morning, it still has yet to clear my account. However, it's showing up on his account ledger as cleared. Hmm... And I'm just a little worried since I have a couple of "authorizations" pending - mainly the hotel, and I don't want to risk my check getting bounced due to the virtual lack of funds in my account. We shall see.
