6/10 Leaving a bar


Me:
Every Thursday after work we've started doing happy hour--
Random guy passing by: I'll show you a happy hour.

5/21 Union Square

Briel on phone: Ok, come find us. We're behind a statue of some guy on a horse.
Guy sitting next to me: Uh, that would be George Washington.

5/24 Astoria

Walking past funeral home with pretty garden on the way home from the subway...

Old Greek man shuffles alongside the fence looking at the plants on the other side. He glances up mischievously and sees I'm watching him. Grabs a leaf from a plant, pops it in his mouth, begins chewing, and waves at me.

"Goof nife" he greets me, his mouth full of leaf.
