My First Egg Cream

The clock is ticking before my on-again, off-again girlfriend Sadie moves to the Left Coast. (Not sure if I shared that yet - probably because saying it publicly makes it more real). But I've got about a month left before she jets to LA, so I need to make the most of it. We started the protracted goodbye by hopping the subway to get egg creams at Brooklyn Farmacy. Pretty damn good. Despite the hiccups afterward. (I'm still getting used to carbonation.)

First Haircut

My dad wanted it to happen a long time ago. My mom just didn't think I had enough hair to warrant a cut. But after an unsuccessful month of battling a nasty tangle (some food was stuck in a tuft of hair and refused to wash away despite numerous rinses), my mom relented and took me to her local spot, Lisa Lobue, where I sat in a really cool airplane and had my first haircut - with lots of fanfare, photos and lollipops. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
