Sometimes it takes a lot of thought to figure out the best mode of transport to get from one part of the city to another. For example, to get from downtown Brooklyn to 220 St. Manhattan: which is the best route? A train to 207 then a bus, or to 168th St. for the 1? Or is the 2 train to 68th St., followed by the 1? My destination is equidistant from the 215th and 225th stations: which one is better? Of course the answer is “it depends”. During midday, the answer is the A to the bus. At rush hours, its the A to the 1 at 168th. At night, the 2/3 to the 1 is best. 225th St. is the preferable stop, because it’s much more inhabited, but it is only served by the 9 during the day. So confusing!

P- and her friend A-, who have the same birthday, celebrated together on Saturday. Mooncake Foods — good, cheap food. Just it’s in the middle of nowhere. Bar party at Apple Restaurant , an old standby — so many people! Beforehand, saw Shawn of the Dead — very funny if you appreciate British wit. Before that, we drove my mom back to the hospital and got my brother to Court Street’s Barnes and Noble. Found him still there 3 hours later.

Chip and Kim win the Amazing Race! Best Outcome Ever! But Colin and Cristie steal the show the next day by getting engaged on the CBS morning show. Amazing Race wins the Emmy; round 6 begins sometime in late October.

This is also the one year anniversary of starting the blog. What were you doing last summer? I’m quite happy about how it has come out so far. What do you think?

I’m trying out this mobile blogging software that works on my phone. On the good side, I can accumulate stuff and send it all at once. The bad thing is that it limits me to 1000 characters.

In other news, my dad’s out of icu and in a regular room. However, he’ll probably be in for another week at least.
