Museum Visit

Gee wiz, I wanted to talk about our day and you beat me to it. It sounds like I enjoyed your company more than you enjoyed mine tho, that's ok, I'll get over it. Just kidding. Anyone who has not had the privilage to meet Kim, she is very sweet, down to earth, and funny. We(or at least I did) had a blast.

Kim came over to my job in Nanuet, NY and got the piercing she has been talking about forever. She met my idiot co-workers, watched me inflict some pain, and hopefully left with an understanding why I don't want to tattoo anymore.

Her Mustang was cool, I felt embarrassed wanting to drive it. We went to Barnes & Noble in Paramus, then to eat at Chilis, where she spilled her soda. Must have been nerves, I have that affect on women.

Sunday, we went to the Met where she got yelled at by a gaurd for pointing too close to a Franz Hals painting. I warned her about it, she would'nt listen. She had her first NY hotdog from a vender outside the museum. We drove around, trying to show her different neighborhoods and backgrounds. Came close to hitting some pedestrians. It was refreshing to have someone interested in the beauty and architecture of NYC where most local people usually just take it for granted.

Thanks Kim for the comment that mine should have won something, I'm usually very humble, but even I think I should have won something, I would have gladly taken the money.

Well, anyhoo, I had a great time, hopefully we can do it again someday.

Hey - Garth, that photo came out great. That Mustang did rock didn't it!? (I rented an economy car, but the guy behind the counter gave me an upgrade because I was the first in over an hour not to yell at him). I've never driven anything like that before - the mini van isnt feeling as good now that Im back. I'd like to take full credit for getting us out of those tickets at the Metro Garth! I pulled a groin muscle running to catch the lady, Im not sure, but the $20 might have been better.

Jimmie,

Ha! You know I had a blast with you. Heck, if I thought your wife would allow it I would have taken you back to Texas with me. Ladies of the forum, get in line behind me if Jimmie ever becomes single. But I warn you all, I have pepper spray and know karate.

oh yes - my first NY hotdog on the street! And the city is gorgeous. So much cleaner than I imagined. And the traffic wasn't bad at all. Of course it could be that Jimmie knew his way around so well. I really appreciated you taking the time to drive me around! I seriously have a desire to move there. I want to go back as soon as I can and see more. Next time Jimmie, you drive the mustang! And next time Im thinking I may go ahead a get that tattoo I was thinking about. And yes, your talent is totally wasted doing tattoos. Even though, I cant think of anyone else I want to trust to give me one.
