Dropping In

Too busy to write today. Didn't read the news at all. Came right home and cooked dinner. I feel slightly out of touch, but I've been sitting and typing all day long and my back and neck are rebelling against me. I have to lay down.

Kathleen and I did end up going to the beach yesterday. We had such a great time. We packed sandwiches and beers and I had the brilliant idea of slicing up a (sinfully) ripe mango and sticking it in the freezer the night before, so we had yummy frozen mango to eat while basking in the hot sun. It was a Martha Stewartesque moment of genius, and it turned out amazing. We started calling it "mango sex" because it was that good. Mmmm, Mango Sex. Slurpy, sweet, icey mango. We savored every morsel and every last drop of nectar.

We took a roll of photos. It was such a picturesque day. Coney Island is always sort of picturesque. I just love sitting there and watching all the sailboats drifting along and the ships and barges far off in the distance heading into the harbor. I like hearing and watching children playing in the sand, all the colored umbrellas as far as the eye can see, and of course, the backdrop of the Coney Island Carnival and boardwalk. I'll post the photos as soon as I get them back from the developer.

I'll be back to catch up tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a slightly less hectic day and I'll have a chance to check up on the news and see what's up in B-town.
