Da Crib

A tour of our apartment in Hawthorne...some might call it a mansion, but Jeff and I are too modest.

Vintage, Minor B style

Sex Sells

To earn extra money Megan is contemplating giving Sex and the City tours, making stops at some memorable sites throughout the city. She hopes to fill the GNO niche.

The Three Turkeys

I have seen three types of turkeys since being in NY.
The first is the Wild Turkey. Wild Turkey is usually found empty, laying in gutters and occasionally littered in the park.


The second kind of turkey is the wild turkey, which I have also seen in the parkk (not far from Wild Turkey).

The last turkey is the tom turkey we will be dominating on Thursday.

Halloween

Megan was at a hospital in the Bronx, learning how to give, and then giving, pelvic exams until about 10 pm on Halloween. Needless to say, it made for a very frightening evening for her.

I spent my evening at home, and my fingers were involved in a very different activity than Megan's. My fingers just channel surfed until I stopped on 'Poltergeist,' starring the guy who plays Hayden Fox on Coach. The movie was on ABC Family, (I was hoping to catch a Full House Halloween special) so it wasn't very scary.

I will not post a picture of Megan's evening.

Paesano

Today I took the Bronx 2 bus across town to Arthur Avenue, home of the Bronx's Italian neighborhood, a neighborhood which I found far less touristy and more Italian than Little Italy in Manhattan.

I enjoyed some delicious mozzarella and I sauntered the streets for an hour or two, but the highlight was a conversation with Maria, a 35 year transplant from Napoli.

Although Maria had been in America for over three decades, she had failed to really learn English...except for some phrases, some gems. Occasionally throughout our conversation Maria would end a phrase by turning up her nose, showing her palms and shrugging her shoulders while saying "whata you gonna do," or "foget about it." Great ItaloAmericano stuff.

Soon Maria and I were joined by her friend, Fortuna. After about 45 minutes, by the time a third friend arrived I surrendered my seat on the park bench and proceeded on my way with satisfaction.

I had a good day today. Porca miseria.
