1.23.10-Whole Foods People

There were at least two notable events during our day.

1. During our dinner/grocery shopping at Whole Foods, we had two separate instances where we got in conversations with old people. This is interesting just because the first guy was amazingly unique, refuses to use computers, mocked me when I took a phone call, and asked Libby and I if we were eloping tonight. Then proceeded to give us advice on kids when we told him we had been married for two years. Truthfully, though, I enjoyed talking with him.
Then the second lady was actually talking mostly with Leila and Neibaur, but we saw the end of it. She was wearing a sweet new york city marathon jacket, which marathon she had done a few years back. Seemed very happy to see Leila and Neibaur's baby, Paulo, and to have a friendly conversation. Apparently Leila made her day, which is sweet.
I guess it goes to show that cold New Yorkers still need some love and affection. Especially old people. Man, it would be especially hard to live in this city if you were old!

2. Two separate instances where a pedestrian crossing the street during the appropriate time who is honked at or otherwise obstructed, lets out his rage by screaming and yelling at the driver in the car. Lovely.
This is the lady sporting the sweet marathon jacket--the other guy was remarkably more interesting looking, but I didn't get a picture.
I love the Time Warner building, and the architecture. Ill have to take another picture, as this one didn't do the trick.
We also went to a great Burger Joint on like 57th between 6th and 7th, actually called the Burger Joint. It's in a really fancy hotel in the back room, and you can't even tell until you are in the room that it's a burger place. It was really good, for about $8 a burger.
It was fun to hang out with Leila and Neibaur and Paulito.
In the morning we went to the Hell's Kitchen flea market, hoping to pick up the cool coffee table we saw there last week. The guy didn't bring his stuff, though, so we got to keep our $80.
