Tom & Alissa

Though the Wednesday holiday threw me off, I’m glad tomorrow is Friday.

On Tuesday night, we went to Midsummer Night’s Swing and danced the night away, quite literally. It was great fun. We’re not great dancers, but we’re not shabby, either. I did wear the wrong shoes, though, and subsequently have had the great pleasure of having blisters on both the top AND bottom of my feet. Still, we’ll return. That has to be one of the most fun events in the NYC summer.

Yesterday my mom was in town to see Les Miserables with some friends, so we had lunch with her beforehand, then came home. I had an article to write (which I did, successfully, and not badly). And we weren’t sure if the rain would hold off, but it did, so we went to a rooftop party in Brooklyn Heights and watched the fireworks - which were spectacular, and directly in our view, as the rooftop was just off the Promenade and the fireworks were over the East River.

Back to the grindstone today; haircut and then an art show tonight, and possibly more swing tomorrow, then out to Jersey on Saturday. I have to go to Chicago next week for work (Tuesday night through Thursday night). So we’re busy, as usual.

Lastly, some of my pictures from our trip are slowly going up on Flickr. Click below to see them.
