Thursday April 23rd-Central Park

Well, today was a rather relaxing day. It is somewhat of a calm before the storm. Tomorrow is when the fun starts, NOT! Today we spent tripping around Manhattan, we located two grocery stores, a Whole Foods Store (which has a lot of organic foods) and a more conventional grocery store. While going to these locations we also located one of our favorite fast food restaurants...Chipotle, which is only about 3 blocks from where we are staying.

After we stopped by the grocery stores we opted to spend some time in Central Park, which is where these pictures were taken. We sat on the park benches there and were interrupted more than once by French high school students who we believe were on spring break. The fountain behind me in the picture is the fountain in the Mel Gibson movie "Ransom" where his child is abducted. We saw some other interesting things at the park: a photo shoot w/ a seven-foot tall model, three Asian couples getting their wedding pictures taken, a rollerblading daredevil who did a bunch of tricks, and a guy playing the saxophone.

We finished up the day with our somewhat "Last Supper" at Carmine's Italian restaurant in the Theater District being we don't know how much of an appetite I am going to have after the chemo starts. I check into the hospital tomorrow at 1130a.

  1. Sounds like you lived it up today! I'm going to the Rockies vs Dodgers game tomorrow and probably either Saturday or Sunday. Dusty set an email parody about our fantasy league with the NFL draft on Saturday so you'll need to check that out as it's pretty funny. Good luck tomorrow and stay positive as you'll probably get down on things here in the next few months but remember that you've got all of us here supporting you knowing that this time around your going to kick this shit out of this stuff!!! Talk to you soon - Ryan
