Weekend Reflections

Happened to pass by the Good Morning America
studio on my way to work the other day. Lots
going on in there—and outside their fishbowl
in the always crazy Times Square area.

The prompt for Week 19: on the line

In this case, the line is a steel cable high up in the 
Andes, and that's my daughter Katie quite literally "on" it. 
 If she looks a tad apprehensive, it's because she's
 about to go ziplining for the very first time.
(I opted to be tethered to this cute guy
as I flew above the treetops.)

Turned out to be tons o' fun, of course!

The prompt for Week 18—light and dark

I was having a hard time deciding what to
post this week (too many choices!)—and
then I got stuck at work (yet again) Monday
night, so it was dark by the time I headed home.
And as I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge, there 
was this big ol' moon lighting up the eastern sky.

Weekend Reflections

I was crossing the Brooklyn Bridge at
just the right time to see the setting sun
glinting off these windows in DUMBO
(Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass).

The prompt for Week 17—unusual and uncommon:
something you don't see every day

Was walking in my Park Slope, Brooklyn
neighborhood one day and passed this
otherwise-perfectly-normal-looking woman.
Kinda cool, no?  Though I'm not really sure a) why you
would wear a headful of blue plastic "dreads" or
b) where you would find them in the first place.
Any thoughts?

The prompt for Week 16: childhood games

This game is from my mom's
childhood—and she's 93!  Her set of
jacks was one of the things that just had
to be saved when her house was
done in by Hurricane Sandy last year.

She made the bag herself—about 85 years
ago(!) from a Domino's sack (apparently
their sugar came in a cloth sack back then).
