I'm partial to Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan." I hope it is a picture book. though I think my vote might have to go to "The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification" but then again "How Green Were the Nazis" has a certain ring to it....

I sort of want the shopping cart book now. Sort of.

David's friend is coming to see us for the weekend and I am supposed to plan stuff for us to do because David has no time to do anything with his 14 hour work days. And he is not the greatest at planning things like this. Normally I'm OK at planning, but I feel sort of bored by my plans. I live on the edge of nyc but I hardly ever get out of the house, besides for school. And when I do get out I go to the same six places.

So tell me if this sounds like fun? I am making them a "menu" and letting them chose what we do. And we can be totally flexible about it all.

lunch (I'll give them options)
museum (their choice)
a walk in central park if anyone feels like it


After that we'll hop in the car and head downtown. David's friend is a nice Ultimate Frisbee playing guy. So I thought we'd swing by Pommes Frites for a snack and then wander over to the Burp Castle to have crazy beer in an etched bottle served to us by monks. When we feel so inclined we can head for dinner at any one of a number of places. They basically just have to tell me what they want to eat. Thai, Mexican, BBQ, Indian, and if they want to go to a slightly upscale place with a nice view we'll head to the Bridge Cafe.

On Sunday we can either laze around and have breakfast here. I make an awesome smoked salmon eggs benedict. Or we can grab bagels and have those with an omlet or something. Then maybe we'll go over to Wave Hill and walk around. They have a nice little cafe and you can look out at the Hudson River and the GWB.

Any suggestions?
