Walking the High Line

The champagne of parks???

A beautiful day after Earl missed NYC. Windy but sunny and warm. Blondie and I decided a 2 mile walk down to High Line Park (an elevated rail line turned into a park by the city) was in order.

The park itself

You really can see the Empire State Building from everywhere in NYC

Kind of in love with NYC right now... Shhhh, don't tell Blondie!

Yesterday was a day dedicated to laziness. Completely. Well, okay, laziness and malted beverages. A good workout, coupled with buying a bunch of healthy food, led me and Blondie on a mission to drink our local bar out of Miller Lite.

Blondie, a patio, a Miller Lite, people watching = bliss

After our beer filled lunch, it was a jaunt back to our building to check out the view from the top - the 45th floor. It was a gorgeous day, and you could see for miles. So fabulous.

Statue of Liberty from 45 flights and 4 miles away - she's there, I swear!

It's hard to look bad when the background is NYC

Willie Watching

Hahaha - cracking myself up. Who doesn't like to Willie watch??? So last night = Radio City Music Hall + Willie Nelson + Blondie + a few beers + some of the funniest song lyrics I've ever heard.

All that adds up to pure heaven. One of the best nights of my life - it happened last night.

Willie is here!

Yes, I own cowboy boots. Yes, I'm wearing them inside RCMH

The man, the myth, the legend - I swear he's dead center in this picture

The Real Gamblers of Atlantic City

It's a good thing I don't live any closer to a major gambling city - I would be screwed. Blondie and I took off to AC yesterday to spend the day gambling - we gave Harrah's a lot of our money, but they gave us a fabulous time in return. I don't have a lot of pictures, because well, to be quite honest, I was too focused on shooting dice, playing poker, and trying to add to 21 to remember to snap some shots.

Lunch time! Blondie enjoying some rum - let's get rum dumb!

Yum... Bellini's

Oh, BTW - Ratt will be in AC in August. I think I want to go. How lame and/or old does this make me???

Viva la France!

The French rule - I've known this since I was like 10 and got drug to a soccer game where the sister city to Lexington (in France) was over playing our teams here. But now, Blondie and everyone who lives in Brooklyn knows it too. That's right folks, Bastille Day came to Brooklyn!

Me and a guillotine. I think I look scarier

From bocce ball (or whatever they call it over there - le ballz bochay?) to champagne cocktails on the street to skateboarding teenagers falling all over the place to cupcakes being given out on the street... Okay, so not all of that is French, but eh. I don't care.

Bocce ball!

Screeeeeeeeeeew Tape-puh!

Blondie and I decided to culture-fy ourselves on Saturday and hit up our first off-Broadway play - The Screwtape Letters. Not only was it cheaper than a Broadway production, it was closer to our house, and just as f'ing good as the real thing.

The play was set in hell, and basically was a 1-man show of a devil's aide dictating letters to his nephew who was out on earth recruiting people away from god. It was sooooo good! The main actor rocked my world - he managed to give me the chills while making me laugh. And the set was just flat out f'ing creepy.

The only downside was that we both left the play in desperate need of a drink - funny though, church always does that to me too.

Give my regards to off-Broadway???

Greenwich Village

It was a gorgeous day on Sunday - a perfect day to be poking around in the city. Blondie and I did a walking tour of Greenwich Village - the tour was no bueno, but exploring the city still gives me a thrill.

From "Barefoot in the Park" - the outside of the house Jane Fonda's character supposedly rented her apartment in

Old stables, turned into super expensive houses

Possibly the best graffiti ever?
