"The Gates" by Christo and Jean-Claude, as seen from Cherry Hill in Central Park.

Ted, a game of Scrabble, and the bottle of Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale that went to the winner (me, I think, but we split the spoils) during my weekend trip to the Everglades.

My reflection in a tram window in Munich, Germany, on my way home from the Chinescher Turm beergarden.

My shiny sparkly silver toenails, getting a break during a long Brooklyn walk.

Twenty minutes before the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

The Brooklyn Bridge, as seen from the Manhattan Bridge, as I walked to work with Rachel during the transit strike. The patch of green at the bottom is Brooklyn Bridge Park, where I held my 27th-birthday party in September.
