So, I was walking home from the gym when suddenly I realized that the construction on the North Side of Newtown Avenue between 31st Street and 30th Avenue, (don’t ask, Astoria is full of contradictions), was nearing a close and they had reopened the sidewalk.

My initial, and very emphatic reaction was:

Oh.  My.  God.  The North Side of Newtown is open again!

So, it’s been a while, and the last one fizzled out, but I got another Crazy Blind Date text this week, and will be attending my next CBD tomorrow evening.  More to come, for sure afterwards, but until then I leave you with this:

I threw my back out on Sunday.  Luckily, it only took me 2.5 days to start feeling normal again, but, seriously, OLD.  Plus – the saddest part is that I got injured at the gym, and the last 3 days all I’ve been able to think about is how I miss going to the gym.

It took me a full 10 seconds (1/3 of the video) to realize that this was the party I took Grace to in Astoria.

Looking back, there was a lot of unnecessary singing on that rooftop, and I’m sure that the sleeping neighbors were none too pleased.  However, it does make me *sigh* with pride at our unbridled patriotism.  I was the Baritone.

That being said – I hate dorks, and if I ever catch ourselves doing that again, I will shoot us.

Fireworks and *gasp* patriotism.
