Postcard from New York: week ending August 11th, 2006

Idyllic Central Park, just a few days ago.
Well, the heat broke, and we had some beautiful weather, and some dramatic thunderstorms! The city feels a little cleaner. And speaking of cleaning, I called the IRS on a conference call with my accountant, and am on my way to clearing up some misunderstandings (checks sent and cashed, but never acknowledged by them), and paying the remainder of what I owe. It feels good to come clean! Come clean, cleaned out, whatever!
And I’m waiting with bated breath to hear about the FAA selling their own water, mouthwash and lip-balm brands on airplanes, at $5 a bottle, and $10 a stick.
