From NYPDNews:

Advisory- Tomorrow 11/7 @ 11am a scheduled military aircraft flyover will occur at a ceremony for USS New York at pier 86 Hudson River.

I’m going to be at that ceremony!! I’m excited to learn that there will be a flyover. Love the flyover. Except after 9/11 when it happened over Madison Square Park and it felt like an earthquake and we were all a little over-sensitive to booming at the time. We didn’t know it was a flyover and so we were looking all around, and we couldn’t tell where it was coming from and as a result we didn’t know which direction to run so we all just kinda froze.

This is another picture from my roof, taken when I first went up there, before the sun began to rapidly set.

The sun is setting. Actually, in the time it took me to post that it has become much darker.

And someone has a garden and I don’t! This is looking down into the garden behind my building. Sigh. Look at all the colors and the green and general prettiness that I don’t have access to!

I’m doing this event tomorrow:

Here’s the Facebook invite if you’d like more information and to RSVP.

I should go to the ticker tape parade for the Yankees. I should also stay home and write. I can’t decide!!

I don’t follow sports really. I just like winning. And cute athletes. And parades. Especially ticker tape parades downtown, which of all the city has the most back-in-time feel which I love. What to do, what to do??

The last time I went to one of these things John Oliver from The Daily Show showed up a few feet away from me and taped a segment, which made it REALLY worthwhile. But I can’t count on that. Alas.

Oh and I tried taking this picture of the Empire State Building while standing across from Grace Church at 11th and Broadway. It didn’t come out well though. It was when it was supposed to be lit up in a tie-dyed fashion for the Grateful Dead? I still think that can’t be right. They’d honor the Grateful Dead? I think they are well worth honoring, but I’m still surprised.

That question has a double meaning, it turns out. I was asking because I just got back from running errands, and I was wondering what I was working on when I left.

Then I uploaded this picture and I don’t remember where I was when I took it. Somewhere on the east side on Manhattan in the 30’s I think. Pretty, no?

I wish I could curl up on the couch with the cats and read O Pioneers!, which I am really loving. But my money is going to run out soon and I must figure out something!! ACK.
