Just a Little Walk


So last week after helping my friend Dave with a little renovating on his place we decided to do Taco Bell for late lunch. Well, since Dave had been inside all day we then decided to take a detour on the way back to his place. Little did we know our detour would take about 2 hours.
We walked to the river, only about 3 blocks and then we said why not walk over to the bridge....then why not over the bridge(neither of us had ever been)...then why not walk around the island (Wards/Randalls Island)...then upon inspection of the island (Insane Asylum and the huge homeless shelter) we said we need to find our way back OFF this island quick. Funny, I knew the bus goes out there because I took the bus to get out there last fall for a Rugby tournament but the first/last stop is the homelss shelter and as we walked past it we saw people in the woods and such. There are no pictures of that because, yeah, the camera-phone went away. The trees and fences are so high out there that we weren't sure which way it was back to the bridge. But, alas, we found our way back just in time because the sky started to grow dark and not long after we were back home the rain started.
Was a nice, unexpected kind of day that you remember.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah......

We were standing at that sign for a few minutes trying to figure out how to say it and then why someone would make the obvious mistake and not fix it eventually. This shot was on the way to my friend Everett's bday party out in Astoria. It was a train ride and a bit of a walk and no friends showed up, I would have killed them but we had a good time anyway. I went out with my friend Steve and we met up with Jorge and his hubby Steve. I wrote about the event a bit ago. These are the Hell Gate Social pics.
