i did the following, (and now I'm tired):
1. My first solo mountain bike ride
2. Made banana and raspberry panckes (and covered them in fresh maple syrup)
3. A six mile mt. bike ride with the boys, and kept up better than usual
4. Discovered how amazingly easy it is to get to NYC via the Metro-North from New Haven
5. Entered NYC via Grand Central Station for the first time (usually arrive via plane)
6. Saw sketch comedy at a place called "Anatomy Club" in New York City
7. Ate an amazingly good falafel somewhere around sixth and Avenue A (or B)
8. Drank with Funny people at a place called Fitzgeralds
9. Rode the subway back to Queens around 2:30am
10. Devoured a deli sandwhich around 3am
11. Slept Some
12. Ate brunch at Jekyll and Hyde (a kooky spooky themed eatery that fed us good brunch)
13. Hung out in various mellow locales (union square, central park)
14. Took the Metro back to New Haven
now i'm salivating for coffee and looking out into the rain that was called for this weekend. the rain that could have detroyed my first solo ride and made trekking around NYC a rather uncomfortable experience (meanwhile, i walked around sleeveless yesterday). weather guys are such liers. the end.

Moio's, mmm. I get a birthday cake from there every year. The strawberry kind. WOW, good. I'll have to have a moio's fedex package this year!
The solo ride was pretty cool. I practiced some logs, and made it down this short and quasi-steep downhill. It was a really meditative experience. I sat on a rock afterwards with a cliff bar and watched the sun sink behind the trees. Very nice. (i think i even kept up with the boys a little better the next day...we did a 6 mile bike ride before going to New York, it was a crazy day)
