a nice place to read (?)

I went downtown yesterday to Whole Foods for a juice and a shot of ginger.  I was hoping to be able to find a spot outside to sit and read but it was a crowded saturday so I ended up driving a bit down to Van Wezel and this spot.  You may remember it from this post.

While it looks quite picturesque it was not exactly the best day for sitting here and reading.  The Irene related winds were whipping to the extent that you had to keep your fingers on all four corners of the book to keep the pages still enough to be able to read.  And my idyllic spot at the end of the cape was really just an opportunity to be misted every time the water spramp* ashore.

*bonus points if you know that reference

Anyways, it was still a nice place to sit and enjoy my juice and my book.  I'm reading a meghan recommendation right now that is so so good.  I will surely do a post when I'm finished with it, which I'm sure will be soon.

So excited for the last week of August.  So so excited.

brother sister time

My sister had rehearsal today at Van Wezel in downtown sarasota.  I met her during her lunch break and we sat in the parking lot and chatted.  This was our view.  Pretty good for a parking lot.

I like thinking about all the times I was in nyc needing advice and I would call my sister when she was on break from rehearsal.  It's way better to just drive down and meet her instead.

Of course in the midst of me enjoying being in Florida and close to my sister, I am getting so many messages from my dearest friends up north that are making me homesick for nyc.

I guess the grass is always greener.  But I think the Florida sky is bluer.
