Time:

Home to gym - ?
Leaving gym hallway to my front door via the express, app. 1030hrs - 24 min (at last!)

Money:

$66, two lamps from Home Depot.
$8, Quizno's on 56th (yes!).
$6, this insane peanut-butter-chocolate frozen thing at Dylan's Candy Bar, which I accidentally found this afternoon and visited during our walk back from dinner tonight.
$.90, a hot and lovely Krispy Kreme donut.

More interesting things:

Just in time for the first game, walked behind a student (I guess, since he was headed into a dorm) wearing a bright orange cap with a big blue "F" on the front. (Dooooo-doo-doo-doo-doo...!)

Finally caught a subway conductor throwing what seems to be a peace sign at the zebra board over the middle of the platform. (It helps him remind himself to make sure he's lined up with the center.)

Saw many, many boxes of Krispy Kremes destined for... the US Open. I didn't know tennis players ate donuts.

Visited the truly ridiculous (and sublime) Dylan's Candy Bar, where they even have candy in the stairs.

More interesting things I haven't done yet:

Gone to Kee's Chocolates, home of the one-bite Creme Brulee truffle thingy. Heh.

Gone to McKeown's, a pub on Third Ave. with a bar facing the street - and no glass in the windows.

Read Nosetalgia, a book I saw at the candy place which lists all these "old-school" smells.

Purchased one of those Sesame Street university t-shirts at the gym (or, for that matter, a sweatshirt).
