long day at the office, it's monday. or it was monday, now early tue. true blood time.

just had dinner, read the papers. parents left today, they are en route back to spain. the apartment feels a little empty.

kind of a busy weekend! lots of activity. i was off Friday running a few important errands downtown , visited the Federal Plaza building, then the Social Security administration, then the post office on Church Street.

more in the afternoon: we had lunch at Tocqueville, super nice, then headed to Met where we saw the Alexander McQueen exhibit, Savage Beauty, quite spectacular. it was extremely crowded, a 3 hour wait, but since we are MET members we got to cut in front of the line after that we some aps and drinks in the members only louge.

saturday was our yearly company picnic, same location as every year: camp kiwi, upstate new york. the weather was hot, but luckily not as hot as expected, so the day ended up being nice. lots of games, swimming, and tons of great food. we didn't get home till late in the evening. we then watched No Strings Attached, a cute comedy, with my parents, and went to bed.

today we are headed to Gusto for late lunch. my parents leave tomorrow , so it's our last lunch together.
