While waiting for my breakfast sandwich and .65 cent coffee at the street cart this morning a guy comes up dressed in a camo jacket, a mohawk and tight pants. I barely even noticed him. He then asks the guy next to him if he knew what he was dressed up as for Halloween. He was Rambo! I didn't even notice. Maybe it was the hair. Just another day in Manhattan.

I've been dropping the ball a lot lately and that disturbs me. On another note, I didn't drop the ball here. Happy Birthday, Na...if you are still sneaking and reading :)

I was so ready for that "extra" hour. I can actually feel the difference. Hope I can keep it up.

Not really sure what the deal is but there is a lot of conflict and negativity around me. Interestingly enough I am calm, I am collected and I am content. I have been busier than a worker bee but each task has a purpose and is (hopefully) pushing me closer to my end result. Do people have an issue with this?

On the weekends I will traipse to the beach and listen to the waves roll onto shore. I will eat fresh food from the farmer's market and fresh seafood pulled out of the Pacific.
