The coolest thing

Greg and I were walking home from his studio last week, through a pretty deserted area of Brooklyn. As we looked ahead, we saw an enormous train engine slowly pull into the road, followed by a row of freight cars.

The train stopped, blocking traffic. Then, after lots of clanking, the engine came back across the road by itself! So big and powerful.



The guy hopped on so fast, it was kind of amazing.

The engine manoeuvered behind the cars...

Then pushed them the rest of the way across the road.

It was surreal and awesome.

I dared Greg to wave at the engineer, but he would not.

Thinks it's Christmas.

Just chillin'. On office chairs in the yard.

Thank you Bert, cat reporter, for this important photoessay.

Landlady springtime

Welcome.

Here is a tweety bird:

I really like this guy:

He's like, I GOT YOU A PLANT!

Upstairs:

Grotto.

And in the back...

B. Kitty!

Looks like you got some eggs, B. Kitty.

He doesn't say much.

Easter eggs!

Natural colors.

Greg made them into this:

Excellent work, Greg.

Chocolate mousse

Yes, I made it!

I got a bit stressed out, what with beating egg whites and egg yolks to various consistencies on top of pots of boiling water and bowls of ice water.

But--it was totally worth it.

Found!

 Crayon.

"Gooey grape."

If you see something

Say something.

"Avocado!"

We just couldn't face that last sesame pancake sandwich.

The best pillowcases EVER

Found in the basement of the sketchiest Salvation Army store I've seen in a long time (= heaven). These things look SO GOOD on our pillows!

Some call this "style"

Others call it "demented."

Frankly, I am not sure which camp I am in.

Lost book

Uh oh.

Now someone will not know what to expect!

The best thing

Matzoh with butter and salt!

Eat it on your way to work.

Apparently

The haters in my neighborhood have organized.

Curry in a box

Pita in a bag.

Lunch = $2.

Me and Goody-b

And this is August (being pushed by his dad, Jasper). He visited us last week, from Maine!

Here we are at home:

Wheee!

For my birthday

Tayvee made me a very special card!

She is a gal of few words.

Thanks Tayvee! xoxoxoxoxxooooo

What's nice is

When you're working late at the office, and the cleaners share their cookies with you.
