HUDSON RIVER PARK
Reading. A decent amount too. Found some great books, and really loved discovering Khaled Hosseini's ability to tell a great story.
Cooked. Quite a bit in an effort to save money. I'm no chef, but I managed to add a couple of staples to our dinner rotation, so I'm pretty happy about that. So is my wife.
Played softball. Practiced in Central Park with my church team, but unfortunately the tourney got rained out. We still got to barbecue afterwards though.
Free events. Philharmonic in Central Park was just okay. Overcrowded and noisy put a damper on things. But those who made it to the weekday concert lucked out with unbelievable weather. The outdoor screening of "Wall Street" on Pier 1, though, was fantastic. Small crowd, great views, and a beautiful space.
Speaking of free events, one of my favorite memories of this summer was when Carol was walking back from a free outdoor screening of "Sex and the City" at SummerStage. Carol and her friend left early because it started to thunder. It looked like it was about to pour so I ran outside with an umbrella to meet Carol on Madison Ave. Then it started coming down like crazy, and there was also bright white lightening too. Men were running scared on the streets. Not a pretty sight. So I decided to put away the umbrella to be safe. When I met Carol, we ended up running back together in the rain. She seemed to float effortlessly and lightly across the hard pavement. We were drenched. That was a lot of fun for me. This summer is fading fast.
