Zeitgeist

  • There's a guy whom I've never met face-to-face, a friend-of-a-friend, a business contact who is now linked to me through facebook. This guy, it turns out, also has kids. He also lives in Park Slope. He also logs onto facebook around 7am while his kids are watching Sesame Street. And, he also occasionally updates his facebook status with some riff on what Grover (or Big Bird, or Elmo) is doing on screen at that moment. We finally noticed the shared experience a few days ago. Amusing.

  • Our bid was accepted on a house. Our friends Amy and Dan (who live a block over and have two kids ages 4 and 1) are also moving two blocks from this house. Now we REALLY have to sell our place. Come on, make me an offer.

  • The first of my two business school-bound team members leaves tomorrow. Still no replacement.

  • We're taking the kids up to the Catskills this weekend for a little hiking, swimming and general family time. Should be a good break from Brooklyn.

    your post was creepy because another friend pointed that out to me yesterday and I finally had a chance to look at it this afternoon and I was like "what the hell did I even mean there?" So I edited it to include a conversation I had with a co-worker and then I saw your comment...weird.

    Happy 4th!
