Because I LOVE Oscar the Grouch!

Jack of all trades, master of none

I'm (attempting to) train for a half marathon. I say attempting because I really don't like to run, but the challenge seemed doable, particularly since the plan I'm following starts with a day of rest. I can get behind any exercise program that starts with no exercise, but I'm beginning to think that this was just a clever way to suck people like me in.

To make sure I stayed on the wagon and kept pushing myself, I started a little blog to document my progress - or lack thereof. You can read it here.

 Feel free to check in and see how I'm coming along.

Coney Island in February

The iconic Coney Island is no more. Yes, we all knew this was coming, but when I was there a few weeks ago, construction crews were building a new roller coaster directly behind where the Shoot the Freak space used to be. While I have to admit that I am a little itsy bitsy tiny little bit excited to see what this roller coaster turns out to be, I would take the old Astroland back any day over whatever new thing gets build here.

I took this photo through a hole n the plywood covered fence that enclosed the construction area.

Love is....
