Ahoy hoy. This one is for Kate, who demanded that I post with more regularity around these parts when I saw her this past weekend. She's a stern taskmaster, but she's right.
A splendid sunny New York day around these parts. There's something delightful about those first mornings in the spring when you can finally wear a lighter jacket -- it puts a boost in my step. About time, too: the endless cycle of rain/cold/rain/ice/cold/rain from this past winter was grinding me down. I look forward to getting some fresh air.
We've also added Seester and the Mok to our PS3-enabled gang over that time. Soon we will have wonderfully geeky 3-on-3 games of COD4. Or Burnout. Or, by the end of the month, GTAIV. If you're feeling adventurous, Frants and I have taken up Warhwak... Nerd-tastic.
New weather = return of the bikes, which warms the cockles of my heart. Just this past weekend, we put our bikes to good use by riding to Hoboken for an all-day Birthday/Housewarming shindig for Goldie and Molly (and Addie). It was a blast, and riding home past midnight after an all-day affair was surprisingly relaxing.
Yassis! I trust everyone is preparing themselves for a nice little Fourth o' July R&R this week. We had beautiful weather in NYC this past weekend. Friday night was kicked off when we checked out Jess' one-woman show, "Drawn" with Matty & Liz. Jessica was awesome, as expected, and the show went great (Diesel also did a good job as Tech Director). Afterward, we went around the corner for some drinks and delightful conversation. Drinks & Betty Boop? A perfect evening!
Saturday, Hydro and I went out on a sweet little bike ride up the West Side of Manhattan. We topped that off with an investigative roll around Hoboken (to spot different condo locations). Sunday, we met up with Gar & Lizzie and their newest bundle of awesomeness -- Winslow. So. Totally. Cool. We soaked up the sunshine, avoided exploding manholes, and observed a high-school baseball practice. Winslow is super adorable (go figure), and in between the squeezing and ogling we heaped upon him, I also took about 250 photos. I'll pick out some of the finest ones this week for your viewing pleasure.
For your immediate pleasure, though -- take a look at Kluv & Hydro in Greece -- Hellas Honeymoon, Part One! Share a glimpse into our first few days of Greece (and our first few days as a married couple) -- most of it was spent looking at each other and saying: "Is the wedding really over? Did that really happen?" It goes by fast.
