Making Progress

So, as of June 21st my Summer To-Do List looked like this:

  1. Go to Coney Island. Spend some money in Astroland trying to win prizes and eat carnival type food. Take a picture in front of The Cyclone and buy a T-Shirt.
  2. See at least one of Olafur Eliasson’s NYC Waterfalls and possibly take in his Take Your Time while it’s still here.
  3. Buy Bighead Swedish Meatballs at Redhook’s IKEA.
  4. Trek up to the Bronx to get a gander at The Floating Lady (and maybe dip my toes in).
  5. Go kayaking.
  6. Join the Brooklyn Central Branch of the NY Public Library.

I am proud to say that I've actually been able to cross a few things off my list.
So today it looks like this:

  1. Go to Coney Island. Spend some money in Astroland trying to win prizes and eat carnival type food. Take a picture in front of The Cyclone and buy a T-Shirt.
  2. See at least one of Olafur Eliasson’s NYC Waterfalls and possibly take in his Take Your Time while it’s still here.
  3. Buy Bighead Swedish Meatballs at Redhook’s IKEA.
  4. Trek up to the Bronx to get a gander at The Floating Lady (and maybe dip my toes in).
  5. Go kayaking.
  6. Join the Brooklyn Central Branch of the NY Public Library.
And tomorrow, we're going to Coney Island.

I don't think that we're going to make it up to the Bronx; nor do I think that we're going to go kayaking but so far we've managed to check some things off and have quite a lovely summer doing so.
