Jimmy and Paul at Spiegelworld, South Street Seaport.

One promise...


...and one private joke.

You've got 12 months. Go.

Zach Hurd, National Underground, East Village.

Priscilla and Kristen.

Garden State Wine Growers Association "Jazz It Up" Festival, Allaire State Park, Farmingdale, Jersey, with Lloyd, Ellie, Laura, Patricia, and Mike.








We catch the sunset at Avon by the Sea.

Staten Island Yankees vs. Tri-City Valley Cats, Richmond County Bank Ballpark, Staten Island, with Dagfinn and Mika.






And fireworks, too.

Audubon Center, Prospect Park, Brooklyn with Alicia, Evan, and Annie.




Our guide and boat pilot. I can't remember what his name was, but he was cool.






Randomly, Annie finds a birdwatching book that a co-worker of hers wrote back in the 70s.






Nice boat.

Roy.

Red Bull New York vs. Houston Dynamo, Giants Stadium, Jersey.

















3-0 victory!

By the way, have I mentioned that Eileen is getting married? (And then moving to California, but anyway.) And to think that I was actually there the day that she and Coast Guard Mike met. In fact, I think Emily, Jimmy, Kathleen, and Jay may all have been there as well. Which I guess just makes it that much cooler when Eileen calls me up randomly to tell me to join them all for impromptu drinks at O'Flaherty's.







Congratulations, Eileen!

Happy birthday, Spano!





The night begins at Limerick in Flatiron.





Followed by a trip down to Noho to see Charlito's Fringe Festival midnight variety show...



...where all kinds of craziness is to be had.
