Waiting for the Prez

Apparently President Obama was in NYC today and just happened to pass by a certain hat shop in Soho. We were hoping he'd pop in, but I heard he had a party to go to. Maybe next time. Here's what really happened... click



Most people were excited and clapping but one dude yelled out something angry about the economy. Ah, gotta love New York sometimes.

Puzzling behavior

This family was reading books on the subway. It was really sweet, they each had their own book. Then, I noticed the title of the father's book, "Understanding Your Child's Puzzling Behavior". Yikes. And just as I noticed it, the son started to get restless and
proceeded to wrestle with his dad and slapped his dad on the forehead and the dad, immediately responded with a swift slap to the face. The boy, laughing, took it all in stride. Puzzling indeed.

Lightning strikes... a lot

Wild lightning storm last night. Got a good view of it on the west side. Glad I was just getting a view of it.

Park up the stairs

Finally made it out to the High Line Park to see what it's all about. There was so much anticipation about it, I guess I was a little underwhelmed. Plus it was really hot that day and super crowded. I am pleased that the space was saved for history's sake, but I pictured it being more wild and less modern.




It seems to make people happy though and it's definitely not the typical park so it is something to talk about. And I had a great time catching up with my old buddy Mecaila! (Side note: the entrances are not at 25th St. as noted on Google Maps. Learned that the hard way on, again, a very hot day! I think we entered around 21st?)

Ping Pong unites us all

The first day of summer soon approaches and we're all ready for it.
