photos and blather

 this weekend brought the first real snow of winter 

blew into town

 bringing with it jim sullivan and HIS WIFE

 more about that in a sec 

when i left the office friday at 2ish

 it had just begun to snow

 seriously

 sticking

 snow

we spent the night

 cozy on the couch

 with 

the cats

 watching

 catch up tv

 shows recorded earlier in the week

 smash

 was fun

 i dont know what that critic from the ny times

 has stuck up his butt 

over this show

 if you've not watched it

 wondered if you should

watch it

watch it

 ignore that ass

 anyway

 saturday

 after my amex angst

 i went out a wandering

 the 'hood

riverside park sledders

looked up

 to see 

that

 hawk

 swoop onto that branch

 of course 

i didnt have my big lens 

later

 i walked up to broadway 

lots of snow shoveling

okay

 so

on sunday

 jim sullivan

 who is known to many

 as the blogger suldog 

visited

i have long looked forward to meeting

 this

 clever

 funny

 man

 in person

he is a handsome irishman

ignore all that distracting crap in the background

mugging for the camera

men in caps

 back when david mcmahon was blogging

 he cited suldog's post

 as a post of the day

 i read it 

left a comment 

asking

 are you single?, i have a sister!

he said 

he was married

 no

 he didnt have a brother

 we've been friends ever since 

he told me they were coming to nyc

we made plans to break bread

 we took

 suldog and HIS WIFE

to

 ditch plains

 we had breakfast for lunch

 with

adult beverages

 lots of funny stories

 good

 easy

 conversation

 with

people

 we felt

we'd known

 forever

 really

toonman, me, the surfing video, suldog, and suldog's WIFE
