Today in NY...

... it is COLD. After walking the 4 short blocks to the subway this morning at 8:30am, I had the equivalent of an icecream headache. And it hurt. And I forgot my gloves. Still, at least it isn't raining - there is always an upside.

Was entertained at the gym this morning whilst pedalling away by the emerging fisticuffs between Bush and Kerry following Kerry's ill-advised throw away lines about intelligence not being a pre-requisite to be sent to Iraq. I am in no way defending Kerry's words, but if Bush in a pre-written and approved statement could only word his indignation in the following way: "insulting and it is shameful. The members of the United States military are PLENTY SMART and they are PLENTY BRAVE" then I query once again the intelligence of Bush. I am guessing he is not "plenty smart" to use such incorrect grammar (although of course I can only guess it was so worded to appeal to the not-so intelligent members of his supporters). Can't wait for these mid-terms to be over so that the media coverage can find something else to focus on. And they can stop these annoying advertisements on television which constantly go on and on about how one candidate is clearly better than the other. Yerks.

So this weekend I am hitting Woodbury Common again tomorrow for the last time, out to dinner Saturday night, and then Sunday I am watching a friend run in the marathon (hope I can pick her out of the crowd!). In between I need to start packing as I am in Boston next weekend... sniff.
