Riverside Park
There are things you say your are going to do regularly as part of your life or at least as part of a season if your life and mine was to just walk the few blocks down to the Hudson River by my house. I always love it here, but rarely go. So today I did my work and then packed a lunch and a New Yorker (the magazine, not a hostage) and went down to the river. It was beautiful. I found a nice bench and read and then fell asleep so peacefully. And I was not mugged or anything. Just a quiet summer day along the water.I saw this sign there and thought it was a good metaphor for life!:

Riverside Park
Is this Manhattan?
I had a meeting in midtown and decided to walk the MILES from there to the Hudson to eat lunch along the river before heading home. Okay, it felt a long way to go munch on a sandwich. But it is all part of my "Embracing All That New York Has to Offer" program. Underwritten by the "Living Your Life in the City" Foundation.
All my attempt to feel like I am really here and it is not all about money or romance or real estate.
Wow, I need to save this for the couch or back up.
Simply, I walked to the Hudson River and had lunch on a bench.
A clean bench. No one was sleeping it off.
This oasis over here is amazing. Blocks inland there is mayhem and general urban craziness and here on the same island of Manhattan is quiet, book/periodical reading, sunbathing, cycling and geese! It is this wonderful urban renewal called Riverside Park. I am in love.
I even waived to a friend talking to a sunbathing old man whose grey chest hair's reflection seemed to be blinding her.
Later, I walked by kids and parents playing softball at a baseball field and folks dining at tables with umbrellas!
Life is once again, for a moment, a musical.
If you look closely to mid left of photo, there are 3 geese. They walk around here often.
