At first I thought this was some sort of manipulated picture of the moon, until I was told that our consultant had taken it from his backyard in Simi Valley, CA. He said at one point he could see 30 ft. flames on three sides of his house. I was so out of it this weekend.
Instead I tromped about NYC and paid no attention to the world outside (fitting, somehow). I always seem to end up in Union Square; this time I watched two people, one in a bear suit and one in a Campbell's Tomato Soup can suit accost people. Sadly, though, it was not the Trigger Happy TV crew. I wouldn't have been satisfied without the Sad Penguin, anyway.
I had someone to eat Dim Sum with for the first time since 1999, and got right through the line at Grimaldi's. At a very wise suggestion I tried Leffe Blonde for the first time. Mmmmmmm. Beer.
