eclipse

The sky has thin clouds over much of it. In the west, where the sun was going down there were more clouds. Some time after the eclipse was supposed to have started, I went out, but the sun was going down in a line of clouds. Later, I decided maybe it had come back out underneath them, so I went back out to look. It had come out, but the lower half was below the horizon/trees at that point, so I could see no evidence of an eclipse.

New York City

Here's the short version:

Got up early on friday to catch our plane. Flew into LaGuardia. Taxi to the East Village, and St. Mark's Hotel. Wandered around - Union Square, Flatiron, Chelsea, back to the hotel, then the West Village, Washington Square, the Meatpacking District, High Line Park. Walked from there past St. Mark's Church, to the east side of the East Village to Mike's place. Hung out with Mike, Jill, Heather and Greg for Heather's birthday. Went to dinner. Went back to Mike's and Jill's place. Went back to the hotel.

Met them all for brunch the next morning. We all went to the Met, and then split up. Cindy and I walked through Central Park, went to the top of Rockefeller Center. Visited St. Patrick's Cathedral. Subway back to the hotel. Went to eat at a little Japanese place. Then drinks at an Irish pub.

Today, we had breakfast at the same place as the day before, walked around the neighborhood a little more. Went to the airport, and came home.
