the little things that make me giggle during a hard working day

le pain quotidien coming to your friendly neighborhood

One of the chains that I actually like. Just discovered there is a new location opening right on 53rd street, this gets even better as it's right next to the waterfall in Samuel Paley Park, on East 53rd Street, between Fifth and Madison Avenues. I smell summer (or just good weather coming).

Coupe des Glaces

Should I survive the weekend I will have tales to tell how was to race bikes on ice. Since that is my plan for the weekend, I will be driving up to Montreal with Lyle to participate in the ice race. Here is a footage from last year's event. Very curious how my bike will fare, borrowed studded tires from Gabe and have the kona set up with free wheel, platform pedals and a rear break. Oh, I also got knee and elbow pads who knows how much they will protect, but...

Museum of the City of New York

There are no accidents, on my way to work I changed my mind last second and decided to ride down on 5th instead of Manhattan Avenue, well the purpose of the change was to notice a new exhibition. Paris/New York design/fashion/culture/1925-1940 is on display, and I am curious of seeing it. There are also 2 upcoming exhibitions that seem very interesting as well, Amsterdam/New Amsterdam: The Worlds of Henry Hudson and Mannahatta/Manhattan.

Laguardia to Weehawken

(written by a passenger of US Air flight 1549) Laguardia to Weehawken (or from Grave to Save) 15 Days after the new year Queens to the Queen City in cold NY clear Flying in the sky with grey birds that day From the Great White North-they got in the way Broiled Canadians stink up the cabin Lookin' down we're over Manhattan Brace for impact, Sully did calmly deliver We're takin' this b**** into the river Back in New York from my home in the south This is not reality comes from my mouth Thoughts of loved ones without me and hard times ahead When I woke up this morning, didn't expect to be dead Big Tin can bounces along the waves We are still in this world, not icy Hudson graves Presence of God, open doors, sun and water A dip off Hells Kitchen with somebody's daughter Shivering in the life raft, Jersey looks fine, Ferryman comes to save souls this time 155 hearts another day will beat Miracle on the Hudson now life is so sweet

we have a new president

I just want to remember the old one and be able to laugh at it, David Letterman's 10 most funny moments.

why always the almost out of reach?

what I mean by that is why do I always manage to find the ones that make me stop from looking since I can't afford or don't want to spend such money. In this case I am in search of a helmet since my full face had gotten stolen back in may with Vespa II. So I've been trying on various 'flip up' helmets, but none really fit the bill. (flip up is the kind that you can open and let your face breathe a bit without taking the helmet off, I find it very useful) When the one called Vemar Jiano popped up in front of me, it looks like this on the plus side, it comes with free shipping. Yippie!

give me a suit, I want to fly
