improptu fun


i realized that the title of my post yesterday didn't really jive with the images and the post all that much...i guess i have just been thinking about august in the city so much that i just wrote it down...

today's post title works...last night dd and i hit the local watering hole after work. we introduced ourselves to the new bartender. we are regulars and there ain't no shame in that! we love our local. we go more in the fall and winter than the summer, but a vodka soda or three encouraged us to hit bryant park for an outdoor movie.

outdoor movies are one of my favorite summertime activities. dd and i rushed to the wine shop and the bodega. sadly, the wine shop no longer carries juice box wine...not sure why...it was a brilliant idea! but, they did sell me a lovely bottle of chilled white with a twist cap (twist cap wine is not all bad...) and supplied me with two dixie cups and an "att girl" when i declared, "off to the movies now!"

dd and i settled in so far from the screen, but it just didn't matter. it feels so good to be out in the city and watch the natural light vanish and quickly replaced by city lights. last night's film was monty python and the holy grail...just fun...nothing serious...perfect, especially when accompanied by a best friend, a bottle of wine and hummus and cracker dinner. it doesn't get much better.
