Bird is the Word

Are you ready for possibly the freakiest photo that has ever graced the pages of this blog? I don’t think you’re ready (for this jelly).

OK, ready now?

LOOK AT THIS BIRD:

It looks like it is .0049 seconds away from dive bombing my face. But it didn’t. In fact, I had no idea there was a bird anywhere near me until I saw this photo. I guess it flew right behind me? Or maybe it’s a ghost bird that is only visible on film. I mean, why isn’t it blurry? Like I said, freaky.

I can’t even think of anything else to say. That bird though.

Remember that birthday I mentioned? I didn’t forget to celebrate it. We took a quick trip to NYC the weekend before to see friends, see shows, do some shopping, eat all the food, and just generally have a good time. (I love saying things like “took a quick trip to NYC” because it makes me sound very fancy and jetsettery.) We flew in Friday morning and out Sunday night, and managed to fit in 2 Broadway shows, 3 museums, 1 shopping spree, and an undisclosed number of cocktails.

To make the trip even more of a whirlwind, I started it by meeting with a client (a cool one, otherwise I would have pulled the “sorry, I’m on vacation” card!). So I had to somehow come up with an outfit for Friday that was comfy enough for a 7am flight, nice enough for a business lunch, funky enough for hanging out downtown, and mean enough to go see Mean Girls. I think I pulled it off, but don’t ask me to do it again. Oh, did I mention my wife bought me tickets to Mean Girls? She’s the best, and she can definitely sit with me, even when she’s wearing sweatpants.
