Day 778: Brunch in Brooklyn

April and Colin prepared a splendid NY style brunch: fluffy blueberry pancakes, crisp bacon, fruit salad, scrambled eggs and our choice of a Bloody Mary or Mimosa.   Certainly not something we've ever done in Fredonia.

Colin fried up two pounds of bacon!  April scrambled eggs.  Both are such gracious and generous hosts.  We were all together for a meal... at the same table.  Laughing, joking, telling stories and having thoughtful discussions on issues and of course, Star Trek.  Such precious time, so fleeting.

We walked for an hour through Prospect Park.  It was a joy to see so many families out with sleds, and skis and snowshoes.  Lots of children laughing outdoors.  It doesn't get much better.  That's what we have always done as a family, no matter where we happen to be.   Long walks and great conversations.  We miss these common rituals so very much, and are so very grateful when we have a few days together.

Then this evening, at Evan's apartment, we ordered sweet and sour chicken, pineapple fried rice and sushi rolls on Seamless Web.  Another thing we never do at home.  Not just the food choices, but who  in Fredonia uses the internet to order a meal and have it delivered to your door in a half hour?
