Happy 4th of July

Yesterday I left Utah and flew to New York to have good times with my brother and sister-in-law before flying to Europe this evening. We visited the new Highline Park last night, where my brother was not properly impressed with the wooden deck chairs. Fortunately, my sister-in-law picked up the slack and demonstrated the appropriate enthusiasm. I also really like the wooden stadium-style benches that face a glass wall overlooking the street below. James and SK just fed me blueberry pancakes and now they're making me a list of places to eat in Paris so that I don't miss out on delicious baskets of sausages. They're good like that.
