Amazing.

(NY Tmes)

Today on my last long run before the marathon (!!) I passed all these military personnel with giant guns along the Hudson near the Intrepid Museum. When I got home I discovered they were guarding the U.S.S. NY, newly arrived from Virginia for its commissioning into the Navy fleet on Saturday, and built with 7.5 tons of steel from the twin towers into its bow.

Wow. At the time I didn’t know what I was looking at, but I’m glad I got to see it.

On all these long runs I’ve had periods of physical and mental anguish, but I’ve also viewed some spectacular sights. I’ve discovered new corners of riverside parks, promenades and the activities they host, and I’ve seen some beautiful skylines. The Sunday before last, on that gorgeous, sunny day, I watched the later sunset silhouette the Statue of Liberty in radiant orange.

I hope Philly has some pretty things to look at.

The Red Balloon (1956)

This movie reminds me of Thanksgiving. A couple of years ago, I think it was my second Thanksgiving in the city, I went to the local repertory theater to watch a double feature of this and White Mane. It was after a morning at the gym and doing DVD yoga at home, and before a fancy uptown dinner with my surrogate NY family (after the first place casually informed us they were out of turkey). It was, like every Thanksgiving I’ve experienced here, the perfect NY day and night.

And then the waiters that were surely rolling on E stole my debit card and went Forever 21 crazy on Black Friday.
