Spring 2004

Lisa and I walked Frisket to Monster Mutt this morning and then headed into Man­hattan for the day. While Lisa worked out at her gym, I wandered around Washington Square and did a little shopping (not in Washington Square).

I picked up some more Moleskine notebooks (which have become my new fave target of sloppy penmanship) at The Art Store where they were on sale (buy one, get a second at ½ price).

We brunched at Noho Star and then proceeded to return to The Art Store for Lisa to pick up various notebooks (since it's all notebooks & journals on sale).

We meandered around a bit and then attempted to return to Brooklyn. Turns out the F isn't running today (well, not the stretch we needed). So we slugged the now-we-think-we-bought-too-many notebooks through SoHo as we attempted to find a taxi. This became one of those afternoons where I think adding another 10,000 medallions to the taxi pool might not be a bad idea. All the taxis were returning to their garages. This is doubly frustrating because they won't stop, and we know we're on the way to several garages in Brooklyn. Eventually we managed to hail a cab and talked him into dropping us off on the way to his garage.

We're going to Midsummer Night's Dream at BAM tonight. Kind of curious to see it on the first day of Spring I guess.
