So I had a day off in the middle of my 2 on, 1 off, 3 on stretch at work (in case you need help with the math, that equates with me working five 12 hour shifts in 6 days....not so fun) and all I really wanted to do was sleep in, wake up, watch a movie (or 2), eat and then go back to bed. However, the weather had another idea. It was a beautiful 10 C (50 F) which meant it was time to pull out some flip-flops and go for a walk.
It wouldn't be a walk if I didn't find some stairs.
After faxing some very important paperwork (I had to send more money to the CRNBC so that they will fill out some paperwork for me to renew my VISA screen certificate......you would think the $500 a year I pay them for my license would cover such costs but no, I actually get nothing from them except a magazine....ok I'm done complaining now) I decided I would walk as far west as I could and see what I could find. From my apartment, if I walk half a block to the east I hit Central Park. About 5 blocks to the west though I also hit some park land....who knew?
Ahhh the sun.......how I love you!
Through the trees you can just make out the West Side Highway and then past that the Hudson River.
I also found this in my newly discovered parkland. This is the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Monument of The City of New York. (No really....that's what the plaque says). I am sure that I went past in on my bus tour way back in February 2007 but this is the first time I have been back. I guess I will have to head west a little more often. Who knows what else I will find.
Another shot through the trees. Can't wait for Spring to really arrive and for everything to turn green. Of course Spring also means the return of baseball season so YEAH!!!!!
This was the advertisement at my local grocery store. I think someone is trying to tell me something.
