This old man loves kombucha. This, from the dog who has mugged me for Sourpatch Kids, should not surprise me.

From the Red Hook > Manhattan Water Taxi. The most sit-down part of today’s 12-mile glorious Summer odyssey.

Williamsburg

Finally saw the big NYC fireworks display. 4 Macy’s barges on the river running simultaneous displays + periodic bursts from the Brooklyn Bridge + dual Jersey City displays in the distance. Ooh, and freaking 3-D boxes in fireworks and a kind of flag display on the bridge.

This city knows how to throw a sparkly party.

Berry watch 2014: I’m going to be sad when somebody eats this little guy.

July

My little peeker (taken yesterday).

There is now a hole within the hole in the lot next to my building.

Obligatory post-race selfie with my DH where I try to look as awkward as possible.

Taken after we ran the Brooklyn Cyclones Take Your Base 5k – my first “real” 5k. The route was Surf in front of MCU Park, to the Boardwalk, down the Boardwalk & back, and around the bases.

If you, or someone you love, likes: trains, transit, history, mechanical things, vintage machinery, electricity, or old advertising; visit the NY Transit Museum. It’s pretty freaking awesome.
