Saturday, June 20th in NYC
I woke up on our second day in the city with plans. Did I? Yes, I always have a plan. I believe I intended to go up to the Metropolitan and maybe the Frick and also Central Park, which is just about my favorite place to sit and watch people in NYC. But when I opened the curtain facing downtown, I saw the the avenue was blocked off as far as I could see. A couple of canopies had been set up.

Only Thursday?
I was reading my last entry and it seems so long ago, but only three days have passed. Whew. Here's poor Spot at the vet on Monday morning. When he'd been to the vet before for minor injuries, he'd...
Whew.
So much for a calm start to the month. I feel I haven't had time to catch my breath but I'm confident today will be a little less frantic. Spot seemed to be slowly improving but then yesterday Kevin...
