Central Park

I went to Central Park today and went out on Sheep Meadow and sat in the sun. Sheep Meadow is a large open grassy area where lots of families and individuals layout on blankets or fly kites or throw balls. It was wonderful. I sat for a good 3 hours and read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. By the way, I found that book in the suitcase I packed for New York. I feel really bad, but it was wrapped and I'm pretty sure it was a birthday present that I forgot I put in my suitcase. I'm not sure who it was from, but thank you to who it was. If you read this please tell me so that I can thank you. It's a really good book.

So Sheep Meadow is really beautiful. Very green and the part next to the road has a practical wall of trees so you are surrounded by green. The coolest part is that behind the trees is the city so you see green and then tall buildings and then this amazing blue sky with white clouds. It was gorgeous. I didn't have my camera so I'll probably be hoping the rest of the summer to have another picture perfect day, but I plan on having it with me from now on.

By the way John, if you read this, I found where your IMAGINE picture came from (the one on your live journal home page). You may already know this, but it is inlaid in the pathway in the Strawberry Fields part of Central Park near W 72nd St.

One more thing and then I'm done for this post. I forgot to mention in the last one that I went to a comedy club Tuesday night called Stand Up Comedy Club with my roommate. The guy she is sort of dating and his friend has performed earlier and got free tickets for the later group of sets. The cool part is that Al Fraken did a set. Yes, the actual Al Franken. He didn't stay very long, three routines with another guy, something George. One about "what do you when you're drunk and have to drive", "An human echo", and comedy about the nuclear talks with Iran.

That's it for now,

Anne
