Bicycling across the Brooklyn Bridge
Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge was one of the items on our Tourist To-Do List, but how to do it was up for grabs until the day we showed up at the South Street Seaport for a tour and spied Blazing Saddles, a vendor that rented bicycles by the hour. Each came equipped with a map Read.

A Slice of Brooklyn
If you’re ever out this way and you’ve always wanted to do a little sight-seeing in Brooklyn, a good way to do it would be to book a tour with A Slice of Brooklyn. Not only do they make sure you have a lot of fun, they feed you some pretty good pizza, too. We Read.

ramen in NYC
RAMEN! WE FOUND A RAMEN SHOP! JUST LIKE THE ONE IN MISAWA! Well, except that the guys in the kitchen didn’t all yell “Irasshaimase!” when we walked in the door. Oh, and they didn’t have ebi ramen on the menu. But still! Except for that, it could’ve almost been exactly the same place! Stepping through Read.

between
After Monsieur Lazhar, My Darling B and I stopped in at The Icon to relax between shows with a couple glasses of wine and maybe a few tapas for snacks. Okay, this has been bugging me all night: What’s the correct plural for tapas, anybody? Or is that already a plural? Wait, I’ll check the Read.

Eating in Denver
We went to Denver to visit Sean and visit our old, favorite haunts. What we ended up doing was eating almost non-stop. At least it felt that way, even though we ate just two meals each day. For all practical purposes there is an infinite number of restaurants and other places to eat in and Read.

We wanted to take a look around the old neighborhood, so Sean drove us to Aurora on Monday. After he parked out front of Lansing Middle School, we walked up and down the block, amazed at how little it had changed. It looked exactly the way it had back in the 90s, which was exactly Read.

occupied
I went to visit Caboose Hobbies this afternoon while My Darling B joined The Seansterator in the Occupy Denver march through the downtown area. We split up for two reasons: One of us should have remained “on the outside” in the event, however unlikely, that it would become necessary to post bail and arrange for Read.

already?
The Texas O-Folk snuck out of the cabin at about three o’clock this morning, or at least that was their plan. I didn’t glance at the clock when I heard them tiptoe out and climb into their car to start the long journey home. It was still very dark. And still very hot. I kicked Read.

hotcakes
I woke up with a need for pancakes yesterday morning. A need, as in, I had to have pancakes as much as I needed to breathe in and out. Has that ever happened to you? I don’t get that feeling often, but when it hits me I put on some pants, grab the car keys Read.

horsepower
We were sitting on the front porch of the cabin where a lake breeze was keeping us cool when we caught the sound of airplane engines buzzing overhead, big engines, and lots of them. I stepped down off the porch to see if I could spot them through the breaks in the trees but they Read.
