This morning maman and I took a ferry cruise around the island, which was a gentle way to start the day. Saw people kayaking, fishing (and catching perch and eels) and roaring around in massive speed boats. Apparently they have speed boat races: I just can't imagine it. Manhattan doesn't feel like a maritime place even though we're surrounded water. Its city first, island second.
Hung out with Annie and Mike and Bella tonight. We consulted the 'recipe book' (read: take out menus) and watched a DVD, which was a wonderful change of pace and scene. After hanging out with couples & babies a lot in the last couple of years I was beginning to go cold turkey. Mike's first Father's Day tomorrow and he's hoping to get a new flatscreen television from his 5 month baby girl. Good luck with that! No more apartment hunting for a couple of months as I pulled the pin on our real estate broker & his chihuahua Ramone, and extended the corporate housing until Jus gets here. Starting a new job and searching for somewhere to live do not mix well.
