Five things I did this past weekend

How was your weekend? Here are five things I did this weekend.

3. Caught up with several friends, all in one night. We made stops at Chez Jacqueline (thanks Groupon), Peel’s and Spuyten Duyvil.

5. Took this picture. My intent (honest) was to capture the art staring at me while I worked on blog posts but instead I captured a moment. So much to discuss, right?

One day in Brooklyn

I took a nice long walk around my neighborhood Saturday. You should come and visit – there’s much more I want to see.

If I were paranoid, I’d tell you about how other diners got real knives while mine was plastic.  Continue reading
