Splashing about in the massive fountains at the base the Unisphere in the World's Fairgrounds in Queens. After a Mets game at Citi Field yesterday (they won!), Steve, Ben and I headed over to the Queens museum of Art to view the panorama of New York City, and just outside the museum resides the Unisphere,… Continue reading A respite from the heat of an August afternoon

an afternoon in Coney
Two Fridays ago, Kim and I trained out to Coney. It was her birthday, and though we got a late start due to other obligations, had a fantastic few hours on the beach; A perfect swimming day.

a pixie in the park
We saw this pixie in Central Park on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, a day of beautiful sunshine and mild weather. Days have been darker since then and the winter weather has begun, sort of. (Well, it isn't 65º anymore, anyway.) Dreams have been dark of late as well, full of doubles, doppelgangers and floods.
Two days of wandering, eating, drinking
The warm glow of Char No. 4, affectionately known (by me) as "Pork and Bourbon" Day One Ben's birthday was Saturday. As he'd been under the weather much of the week, we'd made no plans, but Saturday began warm and balmy, and he was feeling much better, so we decided to embark on a wander.… Continue reading Two days of wandering, eating, drinking

Scenes from the Pines
We spent the weekend in Fire Island with some friends; a last chance at beachiness before the true changing of the seasons. We were lucky enough to have landed a lovely house on a beautiful plot in the Pines (thank you Shmul), and even with rain on Saturday it was such a gift of time… Continue reading Scenes from the Pines
