Round 2

Happy Turkey Day!

Please eat extra portions of turkey (or tofu-key), mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie for me. I'll write about the things I'm thankful for soon.

edit:

I tried and couldn't think of anything to be thankful for that didn't sound contrived or untrue. I know I should try harder, if this article has any truth to it.

Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in DC anymore

Deja vu

There is a street I drive through every day on my way home from work. It is a street flanked by two rows of pre-WWII shop houses and bisected by an elevated subway track. It is also a street that takes me at least 20 minutes to drive through despite being 100 meters long (330 feet) -- this is what happens when you combine inconsiderate drivers with bad city planning. Every day, I sit in traffic on this street and the only thing that keeps me sane is the flashback I get of Philadelphia, New York and DC and how comfortable I felt being surrounded by disgruntled life in a city that seemed as if it was filled to bursting. It is a street I have always wanted to show you but couldn't, that is, until I got my first camera phone last week. Watch out, KL!

And for you Planet Unicorn watchers, there's now ambrosia in cookies! My ambrosia salad tastes like chocolate. Mmmmm....
