nyc blizzard

a few weekends ago, new york city got a little bit of snow.
it was perfect timing, over a weekend, and everyone in the city had the best time.
jon and i met up with our friend jenni, had brunch at alice's tea cup, and then walked through central park.

try, try again.

i would love to make this blogging thing stick...  i've written countless posts in my head over the last few months, but have not made the time to actually sit down and make it happen.   part of the reason, i think, is because our current photo situation is a bit of a disaster.  we need a new computer, we're running out of space, we never download from our camera, we use our phones so much for photos now, etc. etc.  but i have been thinking, right now we live in such an amazing city.  i don't know how long we'll be here and i want to document our experience.  if for nothing else, to show my offspring someday in the far future, that we were (sort of) cool for a minute.

for now, i'll leave you with a funny blog i just discovered today: daily dishonesty.  (a personal fave.)

wish me luck, friends.

we all met at brooklyn bridge park the first thursday of july to watch e.t.
it was such a lovely evening; a tad hot, but the breeze coming off the water helped to keep us comfortable.
it was a great excuse to be with friends and watch the sun set behind the city.
