One, Another, Another, and On (Don't Stop)

Today I am really having loads of fun despite having a raging headache and hangover from last night's good time- which is of course my fault entirely for hitting the sauce a little too much.  Having arranged to meet an old friend for the first time in so many years, I was clearly not going to cancel it despite the vicious thunderbolts hitting my brain. A good (or great) walk was clearly in order to clear my head.  What I did not expect was that there would be so many things of interest.

Fueled by electricity (this is one of the words that have recently been floating in my mind) and more than the usual enthusiasm (and of course the expected curiosity/snoopiness), I saw quite a few things today.  During it, I kept thinking that it was one thing after another- so many new places, so many new sights.  I walked past the New York Times building as well and I poked my nose against the window to see inside.  Noticing the people coming and going, I thought I should go in and snoop around.  It turns out it was a good idea, as inside is an enclosed garden- which I am sure is entirely lost on people in the building.

Later on, after meeting my old friend, I was struck by what he said- that he is never bored. Which triggered off, hours later a memory of Mad Men when Betty tells her waste of screen time brat of a daughter that "only boring people get bored".  Indeed!
