2018 November 30
- If you read this today between 10AM and 3PM EST Earthgirl and me on a bus to Manhattan.
- Thank you to Jim in comments and Bavid by text and M by email for suggestions where to walk this weekend, all suggestions welcome.
- We're staying in Teekman Bowers @ 1st and 49th, I can go north and south and east on the island, walk across bridges into Queens or Brooklyn.
- Saturday night after Earthgirl gets out of her workshop we meet her cousin near Washington Square at a restaurant called Quantum Leap Vegetarian, the only confirmed plan of the weekend other than getting on bus in Bethesda this morning, getting off bus in Bethesda Monday night.
- 40 or so Saturday w light rain Saturday evening ending early Sunday morning temps near 40 dry Sunday, Monday dry and 50, zoom.
- To have hours to myself and then hours with Earthgirl in NYC with no set plans but one (for me, three for her), zoom.
- My emails to me reminders list:
- Sunglasses
- Hiking boots
- Meds
- Power bank
- Hooded sweatshirt
- Hiking pants short and long
- Tooth stuff / deodorant
- Razor and cord (or fully charge)
- (When Bavid and his son visited me at Hilltop a week ago today he'd never seen me without a face mullet, I've been face mulletless for at least fifteen years? more I think...)
- 2nd pair long pants
- Hike baseball hat
- Fannie pack
- Water bottle
- Orange north face black if can’t find
- (I harp on this in my head, a side effect of the eye scare:
- I never saw red and orange until the scare
- (at the cost of green (which makes sense, green/red), dammit.))
- New hat
- Socks
- Hiking long sleeve blue wick shirt
- Rain shell
- Tablet, pens
- SeatSix says there's disc golf in Central Park, pack Aviar, Roc, Leopard, Sidewinder
- Chronological order, thought last, what if I want to write something down.
- I'd bet inchoate travelogue with unfocused photos here, though inchoate be multitudinous if weekend is half as fun as I hope.
- I need remind myself to bring paper and writing utensil, the fuck me.
- Fleabus knows when I'm packing:
that's a good looking cat*
ReplyDeleteyour bus trip hasn't quite started yet as i type this - if you like or don't like their service you could share your observations about it
among the things not listed for your explorations are trail mix or the equivalent - chances are, however, that there will be opportunities to obtain sustenance along the terrain you will traverse
i suppose if i went to manhattan i might like to see trump tower live and in person - but that's the way i am - back in the 20th century i had a subscription to the national enquirer for a while [true story]
*although i do not regard cats as the only estimable animal companions - i have often remarked at the daily mail comments column [under my real name, no less] that you have to be a better-than-average person to be a better friend than the average dog
Shoulda' took the train. Nah. srsly have a great time. The overhead tram to Roosevelt Island is worthwhile, and a cool place to walk.
