It's about 7:34am on Lennox Avenue and there is a firetruck outside the window doing something involving its sirens. Anyways...
Last evening I arrived safely, albeit an hour and a half late, and successfully navigated the New York subway system to end up here at Becca and Jess's apartment. The late arrival was due to the real meaning of traffic that is found just before the Lincoln Tunnel. Seriously, it probably took us that last hour and a half to go about 4 or 5 miles. So our scheduled arrival was 5:50pm and we probably didn't get in until about 7:20. From there, I walked to the subway, took the 3 train to 125th street and walked the rest of the way. When I got here, there were already folks gathered, eating chips and peanuts and hanging out. We had a grand time, complete with sausage, pepper, and onion sandwiches courtesy of Chef Jessica. I got to meet lots of new people that are part of this weekly tradition, aptly named "Thursday Night Dinner". After everyone had left, we took in an episode of Community and an episode of 30 Rock and then it was time for bed.
I slept well overall. Considering the circumstances at least. I'm not complaining, but when you're on a couch in someone's living room in New York, it's not terribly easy to fall asleep. But I did it and I feel ready to start the day!
In other news, I've started reading a book called "Cure for the Common Life" by Max Lucado. My dad gave it to me for graduation (yeah, it happened) and I cracked it open on the bus. It's pretty interesting. I'll post more about it when I've solidified thoughts. Maybe you should read it...
Happy Friday! (And Happy Birthday to Lindsay P Laval!)
