Memorial Day, proper

Ahh Memorial Day. A cool down day, a day of rest after an activity filled week, almost. I woke up early after getting to bed at 2:00, almost like Peter was with me. Too bad he wasn't because something big was going on in the hall all night. Too much noise, and I heard in the morning that the cops were called in. Cousin Chris and Peter had their rooms comped due to the noise and their complaints. I too complained at 9:00 PM but even after complaining AND finding that the maid had not been to my room all day I did not get comped! I guess I am too soft.


I got back to the scene of the party early, around 9:00 am and started cleaning up the deck, taking down the lights putting things away, playing with Harley the dog. Cousin Jan called and wanted me to get her into the city. Around 11:00 I picked her up, brought her over to the house and we all spent some time with GGG and left for the city around noon. Jennifer gave me good directions and we drove into Greenwich Village, had a slice, discovered that they did not bring my promised T-shirt in yet, went to my favorite pet store and begged yet again that Susan (my new friend) could go again next week. I gave Susan their card and she promised to bust their chops and get me that T-shirt.

Jan and I walked around some more and we then drove to the East Village where I hauled her suitcase up to her friends TINIEST apartment ever, said our good-byes and I headed back to Staten Island. Both trips went well, I found free parking in Greenwich Village and successfully parked illegally in the East Village.


Hey, this NY thing is not as tough as the song says.....maybe I can make it anywhere!
