a moth is not a butterfly, and i know why, i know why
Oh, Hawksley greatness. After 1 1/2 weeks of begging the new HW cd to arrive (and it NEVER did), it came on Friday when I was out of town with Chris. Unfair. It prompted this cartoon:
Oh well. I guess the mailman can keep his life and job.
New York was fun - it felt so much like Toronto, only huge. Imagine downtown Toronto only multiplied by 100+ blocks. Insane. If we move there, I'm going to feel so overwhelmed. I mean, I get lost in Toronto... and I've lived here all my life (even though, as Chris is quick to point out and would if I didn't add this, I rarely visited the downtown area until only recently). Oh well. New adventures.
My highlights of our trip:
- delicious New York pizza at all hours of the night, accompanied by cheap drinks
- quiet (!!) library, except when police/firetrucks/ambulances drove by
- constant honking but relatively fast walkers (and those who weren't could be dodged fairly easily, except when they took up the whole sidewalks)
- meeting potential friends for coming years at Chris' school
- lots of great popcorn
- great concert on Saturday, beautiful building but being seated amongst dancers = bad news
- finding another great kind of cinnamon candy (which may/may not be available in Canada...)
- watching the perfect, fluffy, white clouds disappear under the plane on the ride back to Toronto
I guess I can always add more. But that's a good start. :)
2 weeks until HW concert. I'm excited. Far too excited.
- Me.

It's great that you had a fun time in New York! The pizza IS wicked, isn't it? You gotta love the subway too. So is Chris planning to go to school there or what?

The pizza was pretty good, I must admit. I don't really know how it was different from our pizza here, but I could tell there was some minor difference... Chris doesn't know where he wants to go to school yet, but that is one option.
