An Orphan Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

David, our friend, took a hodgepodge of familyless New York City urbanites and invited them togother for a tasty Thanksgiving celebration at his uncle's vacant spot. We all gathered in the huge place on the 5th floor of an Manhattan highrise. Food was served and good times were had by all. But, it was no Michalowski feast. The mad scientest cook, dad, hadn't been cooking for 3 days straight. So we didn't get to enjoy thanksgiving Estacada style: 5 different types of cookies, a ham, turkey, smoked salmon, 8 different types of salad, baked french bread, pumpernickel bread, sour dough bread, mango chutney salsa and whatever else dad usually cooks up. We missed it, but we did the best we could in NYC. At least we had friends and family (Autumn and Eric) to share the holiday with. See everyone soon for the Christmas and New Years holidays.

More Visitors... Yeah!

Autumn and Eric showed up. Well didn't really just show up. It was kind of expected for about 6 or 7 months. It looks like NYC has suited them and they've suited NYC well. They've taken advantage of the food, plays, subway, culture and East Coast Time Zone (everyone stays up here until about 2 in the morning). Enjoy the pictures.

A couple weeks ago Michelle and I checked out the Museum of Moder Art newest show, SAFE: Design That Takes on Risk. It was great, and lucky for you (and me) it's all online. Check it out. It's all about crazy and everyday things that humans use for for safety. Think steel shark suit, breathing mask and a bike that breaks in half if it's stolen. I especially liked the Tsunami signs that were from the Oregon Coast.
