A Walk in the Park

Well, Monday was an uneventful day, I had a doctor's appointment at 9am and got there on time. All went well, my "Numbers" all looked good: White blood cells, Hemoglobin, and Platelets. They also said that I could stop taking the Potassium pills which they had prescribed when my Potassium was low, so these are all good things. I am a pizza nut so for dinner we went to the first Ray's Pizza at 27 Prince Street in SoHo. There are currently over 30 different Ray's Pizza's in Manhattan, from: Ray's Pizza, Famous Ray's Pizza, Original Famous Ray's Pizza, and Big Fat Ray's Pizza (just kidding I made that last one up). Well, the votes are in and here are my rankings on the 3 different Pizza shops which we have tried so far:

#1. Lombardi's: I felt they use the best ingredients and it is a more of a sit-down type of restaurant, downer is that they are cash-only, make sure you've got the dough on you...haha

#2. Ray's Pizza: We got a Large and couldn't finish it, good pizza, a bit greasy, the guy there who makes the pizza was pretty nice and cut us a deal cause we waited 20 minutes. Supposedly the mob ran some illegal business out of this place back in the day. This pizza is more of what I think of NY Pizza, you typically order it by the slice and not the the whole pizza. The guy did give us kudos for how much we finished. They too are cash only. You think of New York City as being on the cutting edge of technology and they are more backwards than Valley Falls, KS. (Sorry Barnes)

#3. Famous Original Ray's Pizza: We had somewhat of a bad experience with them because we had it delivered and the guy who answered the phone couldn't really understand me. It was room temperature when it came to us and we had to be down on the 6th floor for orientation immediately so we only got to have one piece and then come back and warm the rest up later via microwave.

Today was a relaxing day. The pictures taken are from our park bench in Central Park looking out over the lake in the middle of it. We opted to take our lunch to the park and relax being it was such a nice day outside. There is some great people watching in Central Park, from the school students dressed in their uniforms to the French students walking through the park dressed like they just stepped out of a time machine from the 1980's. There are always weddings getting pictures taken on the bridge which you can see in the pictures. There are artists there painting pictures of the shrubbery. There was also a woman with a very good voice just up the trail singing Nat King Cole songs of which Jamie knew all the words to. Lots of people walking dogs, mostly little ones although today we saw a photogenic Bulldog and just as we were leaving the park a boxer that looked a lot like Roy. We're obviously back at our room and getting ready for dinner. Biggest Loser Finale tonight on TV, I'm picking Tara from the Green Team to win. Later.
