CS/24

Normally, I wouldn't list someone from a reality show as a "Celebrity Sighting," but the fact that we've now seen this guy twice just felt to me like he warranted a shout-out. A few weeks ago, while walking near Columbus Circle, we saw Kevin Christiana, from season four of Project Runway, walking into a Daffy's store. Then today, while walking in our neighborhood, we saw him smoking a cigarette while standing on a door stoop near Amsterdam and 83rd. It was weird to see him again so soon after first seeing him. I wonder if it means something.

DIETS BE DAMNED

Meatball sandwich, spanakopita, french cruller, lemon iced tea, key lime pie, vegetable samosa, bbq ribs, water, black and white cookies...

Oh yes, street fair season (and all its food glory) has descended on New York City and today, as listed above and in that order, we sampled our fair share.

POSSIBLE NEW BLOG SERIES?

After overhearing another mom ask her child something completely unbelievable today, I realized that I have the makings for another blog series. Here are the first two exchanges that would go in this series:

On plane from Burbank to New York City
Mom (to six-year-old son): "Do you want water or Sprite?"

Walking near FAO Schwarz in New York City
Mom (to five-year-old son in stroller): "Do you want to stop at a toy store?"

To borrow a quote from "Grey's Anatomy" - seriously? Because these moms can't be serious, can they? I didn't post the kids' replies because unlike their mothers I figure you have an intellect. If I hear more of these wondrous sound bites, I'll be sure to make an ongoing series - I'd just need a good name.
