Sleep - Eat - Walk - Repeat

The boys and I slept in late. I won't say how late, but my mom would say, "The day is half over!" We had lunch at the diner around the corner and then did some thrift store shopping at the Housing Works before walking around Central Park. The colors are gorgeous. Today was the first day that the weather felt like winter; however, the trees still look like fall...how about that global warming?

We wanted to check out FAO Schwartz, but there was a line to get in. We forgot that it was Black Friday. We moved on. Teake and I thought Dick should see the architecture of Grand Central Station...it is one of our favorite buildings in nyc. The lighting is so beautiful - so serene.

Next we landed in Union Square. We browsed around at a holiday fair before grabbing a few items at Filene's Basement (Teake actually bought a Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet 1986-87 concert t-shirt). This kid has major taste issues.

Dinner was Mexican and dessert "heaven on a plate" at Angus McIndoe. Right now we are all beached out on the futon watching some of the worst cable access television I have ever seen...it is so bad that it is good. It is about a futuristic feminist world. The writing and acting is only surpassed by the costumes and space colony special effects. This is hilarious! Where are the Mystery Science 3000 guys when you need them?

what the heck were you guys watching?!!! :)

did you take any pics of grand central? i just read this, have you heard of it, or attempted it:

The "whispering gallery" is located on the dining concourse near the famous Oyster Bar & Restaurant. Here, the acoustics of the low ceramic arches can cause a whisper to sound like a shout. Sound impossible? To test it out, you and a friend will have to stand in opposite corners of the large arched entryway. Now face the corner and whisper.
