Although today left a bit to be desired on the fun scale (read: more rain!) Yesterday was amazing. Joi and I met up with another SU transplant, Claire, to grab lunch at this place and hang out. We then ended up making our way uptown to spend the beautiful afternoon exploring the ginormous area that is Central Park. One word: amazing! We wandered around for a few hours passing both the Guggenheim and Metropolitan museums as well as strolling by Strwaberry Fields, the Jonh Lennon tribute. We happily stumbled upon a man whe was very James Taylor-esque giving a great free concert on one of the many hills and a whole gang of people who were jamming it up seventies style as they had created an old school skating rink in the middle of the park. There was this one older woman who was working it in her white, yup you heard right, white spandex pants and tube top...and yes, she looked good! We stopped on the edge of the lake where couples-a-plenty were out paddling through the park a la Kate and Hubble in The Way We Were (which is playing at the Ziegfeld Theater, maybe I'll go). I took lots of pictures and hope to get them out soon for folks to peak at, but don't hold your breath (sorry mom!) There is still so much of the park to explore as it spans something like fifty blocks, but yesterday was a nice intro.

Tonight I am making some dinner and watching the boob tube, listening to the rain. Classes start tomorrow (thank goodness!) so i'll let everyone know how that goes. Enjoy your nights...
