I didn't go very far today because of my feet. Rest assured, I did find some new socks, and I think they will work out just brilliantly when my feet heal. Anyway, on my short circuit today, I saw some funny things. Well, I thought they were funny.
First, I strolled into Madison Square Park. This is the park I told you about yesterday....you know, "You've Got Mail". Anyway, of all things, two guys were in the park doing martial arts. I guess they should have been dancing, because the dancing draws crowds. This just attracted two giggling girls standing off to the side taking pictures. Everyone else was in line for the burger place in the park. It must have been a good burger. It had a long line.
I have seen dogs everywhere in NYC, but they always seem a little depressed. I think it's because all there is around is concrete. While I was in the park, a girl came in with a gorgeous golden retriever. He was super excited and dragged her everywhere! I could just hear his doggy voice saying, "FREEDOM!" That was funny to watch.
But not as funny as this story. I went to get something to eat, and there were people standing in line. A lady had her kid behind her in a stroller when all of a sudden, it just went backwards with the kid in it! Too many bags on the stroller lady! Word to the wise: Don't put more weight on the back of the stroller than in the stroller (don't shop more than your kid weighs). Poor kid, I can still see his eyes! They got SO HUGE. I was trying to hide that I wanted to laugh, but the girl in the line next to me caught my eye, and we both burst out laughing! FYI - the kid was fine, but the mom was really steamed that she lost her place in line.
The day I went past Madison Square Gardens, I overheard the Police talking to a man that was protesting. I don't remember what he was protesting, but it was a bit shocking (that's all I remember). I was surprised he was there. Anyway, the Police walked up and said, "Can I see your permit?" To which he replied, "Hey, my lawyers said I could be here." Um, I think your lawyers forgot to tell you that you needed a permit. I thought, "That is sooooooo not going to end well." Now that I look back on it, I really wished I had pulled up a seat and watched that show. Broadway nothing!
Sorry the post isn't super huge tonight, but like I said, I didn't go very far. I walked through the Farmer's Market in Union Square. That was kind of interesting. I'm sure I'll have something to say tomorrow. First, it's church, and we'll see what else God has for me to do after that!
