"The coldest winter I even spent was a summer in San Francisco." - Mark Twain

I'm packing a sweater and heading to San Francisco. I hope I remember to bring my heart back to New York City with me.

Summertime, time, time,
Child, the living’s easy.
Fish are jumping out
And the cotton, Lord,
Cotton’s high, Lord, so high.

Your daddy’s rich
And your ma is so good-looking, baby.
She’s looking good now,
Hush, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,
No, no, no, no, don’t you cry.
Don’t you cry!

One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise, rise up singing,
You’re gonna spread your wings,
Child, and take, take to the sky,
Lord, the sky.

But until that morning
Honey, n-n-nothing’s going to harm you now,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Don’t you cry,
Cry.

New York City got four waterfalls this weekend.
Here is a picture (from the New York Times) of one of them.

Uma is so pretty.

Shoot the Freak

Look at these dudes - real deal Brooklyn fellas, hanging out in front of "Shoot the Freak" at Coney Island.

What is SHOOT THE FREAK?:

It's a treat to see an oyster walking down the boardwalk.

What it looks like.

Nino had to have three bottom teeth removed because they were decayed. I am sad. I loved his little tiny teeth. Now he looks like someone sucker punched him.
