manhattanhenge

My old roommate Thien, who still lives in San Francisco, sent me a Gothamist link about the upcoming "Manhattan solstice." There was a short piece about it in the Times as well, "Stonehenge in the City."

In other news:

- I start having alternating Sundays off in June (working Monday - Friday, as opposed to Sunday - Thursday), so I'm looking forward to some full summer weekends!

- I took a knitting class with my cousin Winnie a few weeks ago at Knit NYC (the class was a birthday present from Gerald), and the wool hat I started in the lesson is nearly complete. Unfortunately, I mismeasured and now I think there's no way it can fit my big head. I'm looking forward to trying again though, knitting is easier and more fun that I expected!

- Leslie took me to Tomoe Sushi on Tuesday and it was some good stuff. We had the sushi deluxe and the sashimi deluxe, which was more than we should have finished (it was too good not to). I'll definitely be going back.

- Moe's Tavern has been taking a beating with four consecutive losses. Three of the games were nailbiters, but last night's game was not pretty. Therefore, I will only provide the game link for our last victory.

When you "block" your hat you may be able to stretch it a bit. just a thought.

I need to take a class to get back into knitting. too bad I can't blog and knit at the same time.

AJ - I know, I know, 35% is no good, but I'm still just trying to find my offensive rhythm (ie I need to stop blowing all of my easy layups).

shuna - the wool does looks like it will stretch quite a bit, but I'm not sure if it'll be enough. Blogging and knitting would be two perfect things to do at the same time.
