Walkabout, Day 0 and Day 1
Well, just to prove that sometimes pulling out the map does apparently coincide with the changing of the light, my doorbell range approximately two minutes after I posted in Facebook that the exterminators were running late (just after 10 am). I settled things with them, and they set about doin' there thing and I packed up the dog and went to the New York Botanical Gardens to kill a few hours...
I really wanted to journal my trip, and that's what I'm doing. So this is going to be kind of introspective and babbling and wandering - as will my other posts about this trip. Consider yourself warned. ;)
( Day 0 )
( Day 1 )
Well, with a lot on my mind about the nature of friendship and whether or not I think being a reenacter would make me reach some magical level of unacceptable geekiness. Either way, I've decided for sure that this year I'm making a Civil War dress. What I'm gonna do with it is a question for another day. (At minimum, I can wear it on Halloween, though the idea of trying to get around in the press of people at the Greenwich Village parade while wearing a hoop skirt is terrifying. ;) )
Until tomorrow...
