Troy and I have birthdays four days apart so each year there’s a week of fun and overeating.  Here are some pictures from this year’s escapades which included lots of sunshine on our building’s back patio, visits to Ft. Tryon Park, lunch in Brooklyn, cheesecake, homemade ice cream sundaes inspired by Uncle Scott, the Cloisters chess exhibit, a day rehearsing and performing a reading of our friend John Walch’s wonderful play (and finally capturing a fantastic picture of him for once in our lives), Indian food, a neighborhood picnic at Castle Village, dragging a suitcase through the city, getting suntans, getting rained on, Bull Moose Saloon for greasy food with friends, losing Troy’s wallet for a day, getting separated on the subway train, too many late nights for Huck, lots of games of Sorry, lots of good book reading, and more laughter than I can describe. And now back to regular old normal life, which thankfully is generally full of all the above.
