Silver Case

…got in a 5:30am.  24 hours late.  Our Thursday 5:50pm PGH/Newark flight didn’t take off till 10:30pm, meaning I missed my 11:00pm Newark/Singapore nonstop. We were lucky to get out Friday night. Delay could have been two days.

Ended up going to Greenwich Village Friday afternoon, buying some excellent beans from Joe The Art of Coffee,  tried to buy a chess machine from Village Chess Shop. Failed. They say chess machines are basically extinct.    It was nauseatingly hot in NYC.  Had some ok mexican and a gelato at a much-raved about place on either MacDougal or 6th Avenue (cannot remember), which was fine, but mostly unremarkable.

Now I’m hear, sun is coming up, little man is dressed in a bandana and rubber boots playing with his trains with his other grandmother and Matilda.

Was kicking myself for forgetting to try the red-flavored Mountain Dew I saw in a 7-11 there.  I didn’t even taste regular  Mountain Dew while I was there — Mountain Dew doesn’t exist in Singapore. (Not sure why).

I’ll jam a lot of photos up on Flickr later after I’ve downloaded them from my camera.
