midsummer already…yikes. but yes…midsummer. hmm, things to recollect so far. fourth of july weekend found a number of us in seattle for our friend miltons wedding. it was my second time in seattle…the first time was for a wedding too. hmm, what is it about seattle and getting married? anyhoo, that was fun. for our little table of ex-cornellians (the wedding was predominantly of the brides side) it was a nice bit of reunion, since i hadn’t really seen a number of them in years. the days leading up to the wedding were also packed with nonstop eating, and more eating, and then regretting eating as much as we did. coming back to nyc afterwards, i sort of wish there was somewhere in nyc that sold the little cups of fresh crab/lobster/etc like they did at pike place. god that was yum…and not terribly expensive.
other things strewn about the summer but had yet been ‘journaled’ include the big apple bbq festival (i ate a regrettable amount of bbq), gina back in town briefly and an accompanying dinner at jewel bako, hiking with sally in the palisades interstate park (ouch), an iphone upgrade (my stupid 3g couldn’t even hold a charge for more than a day), the last harry potter movie ever (sniff), and some tacos with ivor at tacombi just this past sunday. those were some good tacos. a number of other eating excursions were strewn about as well…menchanko tei with sally, minca with kj, pepe giallo with carol and margie, moustache with liz and betty, and kasadela with jess. hmm, i think (hope) that’s it. right then…
