What Sandy Left Behind

Yesterday, Gavin and I took a walk around the neighborhood to see what Hurricane Sandy did to where we live. Luckily, we’re in an area that was barely touched by the storm. A lot of people weren’t as lucky, especially in New Jersey. There were some indications, though, that a storm had passed through.

A large piece of metal had fallen by the newspaper stands,

tons of slimy mud lined the streets closest to the river,

a rogue picnic table perched on the outside of the dock,

and a telephone booth fallen over.

It was really cold outside. The storm definitely brought with it the winter temperatures. I hope that the cities affected by the storm are able to get the power back on so that the houses are heated when the temperature gets to be below freezing.

Girl’s Night In

I went running with Elisa (whom I met through Gavin because he shot Benjy and Elisa together awhile ago) for the first time tonight.

She suggested we swing by her friend, Sheila’s apartment in the Upper West Side to watch the Real Housewives Reunion: Part I.

And so we did. I ended up staying really late- we paused every minute (she has something fancy like Tivo where you can pause live TV) and then spent a lot of time talking after it was over.
