Just a test

Last friday, we saw the Counting Crows/Maroon 5 show at the meadows, in the rain, and it didn’t disappoint; it was a great show.

The next day, I just so happened to be sitting outside a vintage clothing store, in NYC, waiting for karen, listening to the new counting crows album on my ipod, watching all the people walk by. The album cover art looks like this:

I just so happened to look up, and to the right, and saw this:

Small world!

Other highlights:
1) Ate rabbit for the first time, at Pamplona’s on E28th st. Tastes like chicken (it really does). Great restaurant, really good food. The menu (spanish cuisine) is completely unpronounceable, but the wait staff was more than patient.
2) Saw filming of “Night at the Museum II” outside of the museum of natural history. yes, there is going to be a sequel. Sorry.
3) Saw Cleopatra’s needle for the first time, in central park. Very obelisky.

Surprisingly easy to find..

Simply load your trunk with fresh cut pine logs, park your car at the airport in the middle of july for a week, and go pick it up. Your car will have the most amazing fresh pine scent imaginable.

This weekend I tried on Daryl’s assault vest. The kind with the ceramic plates designed to stop an AK-47.

That thing is HEAVY. And when you add the side plates? SUPER heavy! Once you actually get it on though, it’s not that bad, it’s actually fairly comfortable, but I bet having to do stuff all day in it would get real tired, real fast.

It also doubles as an effective means of disciplining your children…
