Playmates

Tash & family make great playmates. During their short visit, we managed to squeeze in a Coney Island trip, a play (remember the actress on heroin?), the Greenwich Village street festival, visits to Columbia University and NYU (so that 10 year old Tatiana can decide which one she wants to attend), and WII tournaments in the evenings. Oh and a "death march" (so dubbed by Natasha) around Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow. It was a tad hot and humid and perhaps a few too many miles for a five year old, but we did cover some territory.

With the Columbus gang gone, it's pretty quiet here, but that's ok because we have a big decision to make -- one that requires a lot of thought. We need to decide if we can turn on the air conditioner! There's nothing like a $400 utility bill to convince a person that she/he can tolerate extreme heat and humidity. In truth, we know something is terribly wrong somewhere and somebody's got some 'splainin' to do!
