Summer in the city

New York is fun in the summer.

Last week, we went swing dancing at Lincoln Center. A bit muggy, but not too hot, fortunately. The So-and-so's Wartime Radio Revue was a fun big band, although the slutified WAC uniforms were a bit much.

Went to a Coney Island Cyclones baseball game last night on a whim with a friend. (They're a minor league team.) It was fun, although kind of pathetic. We left in the seventh inning when the score was something like 7-1 - the Cyclones were kicking the crap out of the other team. Wandered up and down the boardwalk and got ice cream and funnel cake. Coney Island is...kind of sad. Like an incredibly run down, ghetto version of Wildwood. I'm not sure I'd want to go back, honestly. But it was a pleasant way to spend a gorgeous evening.

Also, HP

Finished Harry Potter last night. (Hey, I didn't get my copy until after lunch yesterday - it arrived while we were at Chuckro's parents' house.)

( Minor spoilers, blah blah blah )

Bye bye sunshine

The last week or so has been so beautiful.

Of course, the day half my team is supposed to be in the air, we get a major storm.

My boss is in Baltimore. At no point was she supposed to be in Baltimore. Actually, right now, she was supposed to be in her office. But instead, she's stuck in a plane on the ground in Baltimore.

Two more people are stuck at Laguardia. They're supposed to be in Minnesota right now.

Another three or four have flights this afternoon that no one knows if they're happening or not. Fun.
