Back tomorrow with regular cat and random ten and whatever-else blogging (when things get slow, Friday seems to be "blog day" to catch up on everything).
Today, up to Ossining to see my dad and stepmom (joke I've heard too often: "Your dad's in Ossining? What's he in for?") and Berit's parents, who've come down for the day from Massachusetts.
Last night was disappointing -- I went to see Pere Ubu at the Knitting Factory, and the show was sold out (I've seen them 6 times before in NYC, and always got a ticket at the door the night of; getting more popular, those Clevelanders). So I walked down to the Strand outlet on Fulton Street (actually I was going to go to J&R to price VHS decks, as both of ours are dying, but they were closing early) and I spent what would have been ticket/t-shirt money on five books (at a huge discount, list price would have been $91.00, I paid well under half that): three by Sarah Vowell I've wanted for some time, a big novel by William T. Vollmann, and the new Gore Vidal memoir (which turned out to be a signed copy, cool).
In the spirit of the day, I give thanks for much that I have in this life, and the interesting life I've had and continue to have. I hope you are in much the same boat.
Three photos I haven't posted before that somehow seem to be apropos of the spirit and the day, though I couldn't verbalize how:
Thank you for reading my blog, whoever you all are.
