It’s been a while I know, I’ve been sick. Nothing special, just the same old annual winter sinus infection that’s going around. I’m taking Cippro, Dr. says it will kill anything. Don’t know if that’s good or bad. But anyway, besides feeling a little tired after seeing Lord of the Rings last night, I feel good. That movie kicks ass!

I’ll write more later after my sinus pressure evens out enough for me to get my balance back

Walking to or from work I tend to ruminate on the idea that walking through the streets in Manhattan during rush hour is a lot like Frogger. It is worse however, in the evening rush hour when you notice that people are MUCH more anxious to get home as they are to get to work in the morning.

Walking along the street it’s mostly just crowded, but once you get to a cross-street, the amphibian in you must stand up and be counted! People are coming, you move to the right, slow down, jump ahead, fake right, then left and hope that you get past all the pedestrians going at different speeds just for a chance to wait at the curb for the sign to say WALK so you can start everything all over again. Maybe it’s more like a huge game of basketball, where instead of making shots and sinking baskets, your goal is to just get safely to the transportation of choice where you can sit (or stand) and let it take you the rest of the way home.

Let me state the obvious… It’s snowing! I am so excited. Although it is a pain, and I didn’t bring a hat and my glasses always fog up, I am super happy, and those things don’t bother me. I wonder how long I will be happy about it. I should start a poll on when I will start complaining that it’s too cold, or too slushy.

For now I am happy, and it gets me in the mood for Christmas. We put up blinky lights all over the living room last night and they are SPECTACULAR. When you have such a small apartment, colorful lighting goes a long way. I hope everyone is staying warm, and please try to help the people who are not. Happy Snow Day.
