Pride in The City

I only went to the local Pride event in Poughkeepsie last year (i was super on a budget last year), and i’ve only been down in the city once this year just after new years … if i’d planned better i would have stayed over a night or two … but a quick day trip is fun too

 

and i got to see a new part of The High Line that connects to the new train station …

I actually mostly skipped the parade itself (except for 2020 when it was just a mass march i rarely go to the parade), there is plenty of other crazy stuff going on all around town on that i just wander through it all and then see if i want to stop anywhere …

which is how i ended up sitting on Pier 45 watching people dance and double dutch. it was also easier to meet up with my friend when only one of us was moving around … and he arrived (with beer) just before the sky opened up and poured all over everyone … i had my rain jacket, and most people were ready for it … so it was fun!

Another successful Pride in the books i made my way back to Grand Central a little soggy … but happy …

Pages out of Time

while i’m not at all consistent at … this stuff … i am still good at keeping up with my planner …

and i’ve been on summer half time at work so i can go back to my favorite Monday morning ritual …

Some of the intervening weeks …

I have actually been getting a lot done … for a while it was mostly at work, and a lot of it should have already been posted, some of it got in the post on time!

the last two weeks though … it has been a brain melting heatwave (which makes me glad i’m not still a landscaper (and shocked i was one for so long!))

so, i mopped myself up … got my shit together and went to the one cafe in town i’m pretty good at doing laptop-y work at …

i’ve got some timed posts i’m going to set up so that there will continue to be “content” even if i forget to do this for a few weeks again …

and i’m going to wrap up today with a little works in progres/studio post …

but first: Pride!

I spend most of my time listening to You’re Wrong About it and i finally got some stickers!
