The weather’s been relatively cool this summer; my running joke’s that in NYC, we go from Winter straight into Summer without a stop in Spring. This year, however, we’ve had spring and there’ve been several nice accompanying days.
Stopped by my old law school to pick up some things and it’s a bit shocking to me that it’s been 15 years since I first walked through those doors. It still smells the same. Smells are the first things I ever remember.
Speakinga remembering and smells, saw my mom and dad along with some uncles and aunts this past weekend. HG and I headed out to Flushing where we met up with them in the same restaurant we went to for our Chinese wedding. Somea my relatives were in Asia at the time and they wanted to meet my wife.
Still feels strange writing the word, “wife.”
We took the train out there insteada the subway. It was my first time ever. Afterward, HG went home first so I could get a haircut. My thoughts and I took the 3:06 train to Penn Station.
S’funny, you can live in a place your entire life and never see it from a particular angle. Been to five-star hotels on private beaches in Nantes, suites in luxury ships off the coast of Denmark, private celebrity parties, and expensive fund-raisers. But being on a $12.50 train ride with HG made me feel wealthy and picking up the tab for lunch made me feel like an adult. Silly, isn’t it?
Finally, it’s supposed to be 95 degrees today.
Well, that’s the end of that.

I find paying for things when older relatives are involved makes me feel like an adult. This year we had a party for all our relatives back in Vancouver and they all gave us comments about how we must be rolling in it. LoL. It was more that we didn't have the time to do 4 or 5 small things that would make up the one event, but yeah – my aunt got all maudlin about how we're grown up or something like that.
I have no idea where I was going with any of this…
Ha – I think I know where you were going. It's nice to do these small things that have such a big effect on people and ourselves. The fact we only do it sometimes, adds to their value, I think.
