Won’t you let me take you on a sea cruise

I went to work for a couple of hours today, then we all went on a harbor cruise around the Hudson and East Rivers. It was our annual company outing. And while it was a little muggy out on deck, I think everyone generally agreed this was quite nice. Lunch was good, and although the weather was a little more humid than it’s been lately, the view really was quite something.

We returned to the pier around 2 PM, after which I headed back to the office to pick up my laptop, so that I’ll be able to work from home on Monday. (I thought about taking it with me on the boat, but that seemed a little much, especially with the three long avenues I had to walk* from the subway to get there.)

My plans for the weekend include getting my car inspected and writing. That’s it, really.

* To you non-New Yorkers, this is not sarcasm. The avenues are long. Those three blocks alone are three quarters of a mile.
